🌟 “Being called a 3PL can sometimes feel limiting, as if we’re just an outside vendor. In reality, we’re much more—a true partner.” 🌟 Your shipping partner should be an integral part of your brand and operations. The deeper the involvement, the greater the value you receive from their expertise. True success in supply chain and shipping comes from teamwork and collaboration. When all partners come together, the magic happens, overcoming any obstacle with a strong foundation. What qualities do you value most in a shipping partner? 🤝 This insight came to me during a discussion earlier this year, and it’s something I reflect on frequently with clients. Approach every relationship with a partnership mindset, no matter how it’s labeled. If you’re looking for a true partner, reach out for a complimentary consult so we can start forming our partnership. 👉 Schedule a Complimentary Southern Star Consult Today! https://lnkd.in/e5UWKYRi 👉 Follow Bethany 🌎 Gabbett #logistics #supplychain #shippingpartner #teamwork #3pl #operations #freightforwarding #southernstarnavigation

It is crazy how often I am told from companies that their fulfillment company does not conduct formal QBRs or have regular scheduled meetings with them. A well-conducted QBR not only paves the way for a stronger partnership but also uncovers opportunities for additional business and develops long-term solutions that cater to the customer's needs now and in the future. This underscores the crucial role 3PLs play in fostering these relationships.  Get out in front of your customers and build that long-term partnership. I would love to hear aany tips you use when conducting or participating in QBRs. #fulfillment #3pl #warehousing #ecommerce #operations #customers

In 2024, parcel shippers and direct to consumer brands may need to reconsider carrier diversification, opting for fewer providers. Major carriers like FedEx and UPS are offering discounts to counter volume declines, challenging smaller regional providers. Consolidation is expected, emphasizing the need for a solid distribution-to-doorstep network. It is crucial to navigate this shift strategically, ensuring service reliability while exploring innovative partnerships. Curious what the 4PL’s out there think about this as most of them have negotiated rates based on a combination of larger provider’s and regional carrier networks.

At Dyspach It took Amit and I, about 4-5 months to realise... 🚫 That we don't want to fix the massive supply chain problems... 🚫 That neither do we want to be a 4PL nor a 5PL or any PL... 🚫 That we don't want to automate the fulfilment from warehouses... 🚫 That we don't want to become a reseller or a load-board... 🚫 That we don't want to build the most capable TMS... 🚫 That we don't want to pigeonhole ourselves in a freight category... 🚫 That we don't want to help fill trucks, at whatever cost... 🚫 That we don't want to work in the red-ocean of freight... 🚫 That we don't want to fix freight management... 👉 We just want to fix freight pricing, globally.
