3PL (Third-party logistics)
An outside provider that stores your inventory and fulfills your orders on your behalf.
A Third-Party Logistics provider (3PL) handles warehousing and fulfillment for you -- receiving your stock, storing it, and picking, packing, and shipping orders as they come in. Brands use 3PLs to scale fulfillment without running their own warehouse.
Skuwell serves both sides: brands can manage inventory and orders that a 3PL fulfills, and 3PLs themselves can run multi-client operations on Skuwell, with the warehouse tooling -- floor map, batching, scan verification -- to do it accurately.
