Swift Delivery & Logistics’ Guide to Third-Party Logistics Solutions
Handling all the various logistics and shipping details for your business tends to be a complex challenge. You need to have many working parts all functioning in 100% unison to experience the cost savings and efficiency required for delivering goods and products to all your clients and customers.
Why go through that stressful situation on your own when there are professional third-party logistics service providers already functioning at optimal capacity? Our team at Swift Delivery & Logistics is here to make the movement of goods to and from your facility as painless as possible.
What are Third-Party Logistics?
Any third-party logistics service (sometimes called 3PL) is designed to operate on your behalf. It is the ability to outsource the various ins and outs of delivering your products where they need to be as efficient as possible.
The trick is working with a third-party logistics service with the specialization and attention to details you may need, based on your unique business operations. When you work with Swift Delivery & Logistics you get the 3PL needed that is highly efficient, easy to scale, and offers the cost effectiveness you need for growth. Let’s review some of the ways we can improve your business model.
Pooled Distribution
We utilize a unique system called “pooled distribution” as part of our third-party logistics service. This involves consolidating all the various goods and deliveries into centralized hubs strategically placed around the Mid-Atlantic region. Instead of having to send out drivers to multiple deliveries, we create highly efficient routes and systems that reduce financial loss.
Last Mile Efficiency
Anyone operating in the delivery industry knows last-mile delivery can be expensive. We have overcome this challenge by using flexible delivery mechanisms and fleet management. In particular, we have two warehouses located close to airports in the Washington/Baltimore area. That logistical positioning speeds up the last-mile delivery you need to meet client expectations.
Dedicated Routes
While we are happy to offer same day and expedited delivery services, we also have dedicated routes around the region. Using our flexible fleet of cargo vans, straight trucks, and other unique vehicles allows us to eliminate the risk of deliveries being commingled with other freight. That ensures you get the privacy controls needed for sensitive items – especially in the healthcare industry.
Cutting Edge Technology
Our team at Swift Delivery & Logistics loves technology. We implement various AI-backed tools that drive efficiency through all our processes. From real-time tracking of your items through our supply chain to properly accounting for traffic surges or bad weather, we are able to adjust quickly and meet the delivery times you rely on for success.
