3PL is a range of specialized distribution and warehousing and fulfillment services which bring increased efficiency and responsiveness to supply chain management for organizations with extensive, time-sensitive logistical needs. IQ is a proven High Touch – High Tech third party logistics provider and last mile fulfillment distributor in the southwestern U.S.
3PL services include, among others:
-
Cross Docking is the practice of unloading materials from an incoming semi-trailer truck and loading these materials directly into outbound trailers or trucks with little or no storage in between. Cross docking requires close synchronization of all inbound and outbound shipment movements. By eliminating the put-away, storage and selection operations, it can significantly reduce distribution costs.
Whether your cross docked shipment is going out in bulk to another distribution point (e.g. a retail store) or is broken down into items to be delivered last mile direct to individual end users, IQ can handle all your last mile and routed distribution deliveries accurately, efficiently and on time.
- Last Mile Direct refers to completing deliveries which originate from a distribution center to individual, local recipients. Typically, goods and materials arrive in large trailer-truck shipments which must be broken down and transferred to delivery vehicles more suitable for urban and suburban streets for final delivery.
- Fulfillment involves holding inventory for a national manufacturer or distributor in order to make "just in time" deliveries to their local customers more cost-efficiently. Our routed distribution logistics guarantee your requested delivery times are met.
- 3PL Warehousing is available utilizing either traditional or customized routed distribution services, whatever it takes to optimize supply chain logistics to get your goods where they need to be.
