November - 20216 logisticstechoutlook.comLinda James Managing Editoreditor@logisticstechoutlook.comFor various reasons, manufacturers often outsource various aspects of their work to third-party logistics companies, enabling them to save on recruiting, training, employment taxes, salaries, and employee benefit packages. With the shortage of supply chain labor in many markets, many manufacturers outsource work to 3PLs to be able to scale their operations up and down, especially important when dealing with seasonal demand or the production or processing of seasonal goods. Manufacturing is a costly business, and hiring and training a skilled workforce is costly and time-consuming. Having access to an outsourced workforce that is ready and able to augment your operational efforts is a solid investment due to the cost savings and flexibility it provides your company. With the speed of today's consumer-oriented supply chain, relying on 3PL partnerships could create a measurable difference in the profitability of your operation and lead to greater manufacturing productivity.Further, the supply chain and logistics landscape thrive on user data. Treading on this line, supply chain service providers are moving toward mainstream adoption of cloud computing and big data analytics. Consequently, the 3PL space will instill heightened transparency between the providers and customers, as companies offer seasonal trends for buyers and succeed in meeting impromptu operational demands. In addition, improved speech recognition and voice prompting standards will enhance direct warehouse management system communications, reducing the need for frequent employee training while upgrading order turn-rounds and inventory records.
