When choosing a third-party logistics partner, bigger is not always better. A mid-size 3PL can offer the best of both worlds. They tend to have national or regional scope and offer a suite of integrated logistics services while also capable of providing their clients with tailored solutions and hands-on customer service. 

Consider scalability. If a mid-size manufacturer is looking to scale quickly, work with a mid-size 3PL that has the flexibility and can provide expertise and personalized service. When the business scales, a mid-size 3PL will grow to accommodate. 

For emerging to mid-size pharmaceutical companies, a mid-size 3PL partner is a great match. Mid-size 3PLs are equipped to handle the logistics needs of other mid-size companies efficiently — and cost-effectively. 

Benefits of working with a mid-size 3PL partner

Not only will you find mid-size 3PLs operate efficiently, they also provide valuable services that are not often found within small or large 3PL providers. 

Tailored solutions

Compared to their big-box 3PL counterparts, mid-size 3PLs have the bandwidth to understand each client’s specific needs and tailor solutions to fulfill them. This level of service is not always available from large companies with a myriad of clients. Mid-size 3PLs oftentimes come with a consultative approach — their solutions are not one-size-fits-all. 

LogiCare3PL strives to understand the business needs and challenges of clients to provide innovative solutions. The company’s experience with specialty products, coupled with a tenured team of professionals with large 3PL experience, allows clients to unlock quality logistics solutions with unmatched customer service. 

High-touch service

Mid-size 3PL partners have the resources and expertise to offer unparalleled customer service — their clients are not just another name on a long list. A partnership can be formed between a client and the representative of a 3PL because mid-size 3PLs will have a dedicated team to serve their clients.

LogiCare3PL has client service managers who work with clients to meet their exact needs. Not only do they work to understand where a business is in its current state, but they also build a relationship with the manufacturer partners they support to understand where they are challenged, how they are succeeding, as well as their short-term objectives and long-term goals. To ensure the ability to foster a strategic and collaborative relationship with manufacturers, LogiCare3PL’s business engagement managers are assigned a limited number of clients. That way, clients can experience a more personalized approach, and business engagement managers can offer innovative solutions and direct support. 

Flexibility

Business needs and requirements change. Your 3PL should be flexible enough to shift with the business. Mid-size 3PL partners are often more nimble and can make the necessary changes quicker and easier than large 3PLs with rigid processes. Not only can mid-size 3PLs make these changes faster, they can often do it at a lower price point. 

LogiCare3PL regularly handles specialty products with specific requirements. With an agile and wide-reaching distribution network, LogiCare3PL can support their partners — and their patients — ensuring prompt and reliable product fulfillment.

A mid-size 3PL is able to proactively adapt to a new requirement or unique product thanks to an experienced team and agile processes. Small 3PLs could lack expertise or ability, while large 3PLs may not be flexible enough to meet the needs of a specific product.
