Beyond Price: What to Look for in a 3PL

When brands search for a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, price often tops the list. But focussing solely on rates risks missing the genuine value a true partner delivers.

The most successful fulfilment partnerships are built on people, culture, and collaboration. Here’s what really matters:

People Make the Difference

At the heart of every exceptional 3PL are its people. Technology matters, but skilled, motivated teams deliver consistently day after day.

When your fulfilment provider acts as an extension of your business, every touchpoint improves – from picking accuracy to packaging creativity and peak season flexibility. The right people uphold your brand promise throughout the customer journey.

Culture Drives Performance

A company’s culture directly influences the service you receive. A motivated workforce delivers consistency, care, and attention to detail.

At Staci, culture is fundamental. We’ve been recognised as a Great Place to Work for two consecutive years, demonstrating our people are genuinely engaged and motivated to deliver excellence.

Partnership, Not Just Processing

Your fulfilment partner shouldn’t simply process orders – they should help your business evolve. The right 3PL brings fresh ideas, efficiencies, and continuous improvement.

From sustainability initiatives to innovative packaging, your partner should share your vision and actively contribute to growth. A strong 3PL becomes a strategic partner.

Looking Ahead

Businesses need fulfilment partners that offer more than cost savings – partners who share values, support ambitions, and enhance customer experience.

At Staci, we deliver expert teams, a culture of excellence, and genuine partnership.
