Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 3PL and 4PL?
A 3PL (third-party logistics provider) like a2b directly operates warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution on behalf of its clients. A 4PL, sometimes called a lead logistics provider, manages a network of 3PLs and other logistics partners rather than operating facilities itself. Most brands working directly with a fulfillment operation are working with a 3PL. a2b is a 3PL: we own and operate the facilities, the technology, and the people handling your inventory.
What is logistics and warehousing?
Warehousing is the secure storage of inventory in a facility, including receiving, put-away, and inventory tracking. Logistics is the broader system of moving goods through the supply chain, covering transportation, order management, and distribution. 3PL warehousing combines both: a2b stores your products and manages the entire process of getting them to your customers quickly, correctly, and with care.
What are the disadvantages of using a 3PL?
The most common concern with outsourcing to a 3PL is giving up direct control over your inventory and fulfillment operation. The right partner removes that concern through real-time visibility, transparent reporting, and responsive communication. At a2b, clients have 24/7 access to inventory data and order status through a2b Engage, our client portal. The goal is to take the stress of shipping off your plate without taking visibility with it.
What is the difference between logistics and 3PL?
In the logistics industry, logistics refers to the planning and execution of moving goods from point A to point B, including transportation, warehousing, and inventory management. A 3PL is a company that provides those logistics services on an outsourced basis. When you partner with a2b, you gain a 3PL that handles warehousing, distribution, order fulfillment, and supply chain management so you can focus on building your business.
