The term Third-Party Logistics, or 3PL, seems to get tossed around a lot these days. Simply put, it means to provide outsourced support for a portion of the supply chain management process. While some companies only perform a particular portion of the supply chain, such as transportation or distribution, the Jay Group offers a complete suite of 3PL services that add value to your supply chain and help it run faster, more efficiently, and at a greater cost-savings to your bottom line. These services can be utilized independently, or combined to provide a single-source 3PL solution to maximize efficiencies.
As a 3PL provider, we work with our clients to analyze their entire supply chain and correct and inefficiencies they may have. It all starts before a shipment ever arrives at one of our facilities. We take an in-depth look at your business and work with you to develop a demand planning strategy. We analyze your product mix and order volume to provide the most efficient and cost effective solution for your inventory. Once your merchandise is ready to be received, we can coordinate all aspects of the inbound freight process through our team of subject matter experts and network of strategic partners. Our next step is to create a storage and slotting strategy that maximizes the efficiency of the fulfillment and replenishment process.
Once the product has been received and located, our team of fulfillment experts takes center stage. With almost 50 years of experience in the fulfillment industry, we have the expertise to make sure your orders are picked quickly, accurately, and get on their way to their end destinations. That end destination may be directly to the consumer, or to a retail outlet or wholesaler. Backed by Manhattan Associates Warehouse Management System (WMS), we support a variety of EDI interfaces that allow us to fulfill orders for big box retailers, club stores, or the end user. Through our network of small parcel carriers, common carriers, and dedicated carriers; we will provide the most efficient and cost effective transportation solution to get your product where it needs to be.
However, third-party logistics is more than just the storage and distribution of products. We also offer a full suite of value added services designed to further improve your supply chain process. We offer extensive experience in procurement and product sourcing. We will work with your staff and partners to get you the best pricing on promotional materials, display products, and packaging materials.
