Third Party Logistics (3PL)
Improve material flow, increase efficiency, and support specialization.
Third Party Logistics (3PL) serve manufacturers who choose to outsource some, or all, of their logistics operations, such as warehousing, fulfillment and distribution.
Matthews has worked with many 3PLs to optimize their distribution centers. When properly engineered and supported by the right software, there are light-directed picking and sorting applications available that can actually provide tremendous flexibility to 3PLs: optimizing diverse product stock keeping units (SKUs), multiple accounts, unique requirements, seasonality spikes and fluctuating order volumes.
Whether using a single light-directed automation product, or multiple solutions for an integrated fulfillment system, properly engineered technologies simplify complex 3PL operations and reduce associated costs.
3PLs have used Matthews Automation Lightning Pick’s picking carts, put walls, and light frames to optimize their dynamic environments.
