Warehouse Challenges for 3PL

Industry challenges
»
Labour shortage - Companies face issues in acquiring skilled staff, training them while controlling attrition costs. Almost 76% of Supply chain leaders report warehouse workforce shortages.
»
Omnichannel fulfilment - 3PL companies often service B2B and B2C clientele across multi-industries. Facilitating bulk and individual orders from the same warehouse requires systems that support multi-tenancy.
»
Reverse Logistics - U.S. returns are expected to reach $890 billion by 2025. Managing high return volumes has become as a significant operational challenge for 3PL providers.
»
Fluctuating demand - Order volumes fluctuate during holidays and peak season sales which may highlight either capacity gaps or surplus spends on consuming unnecessary energy or space.
Industry challenges
»
Error rate - Partners expect real-time tracking, SLA compliance, and error free delivery. Yet, as per leading studies, 35% of warehouses report more than 1% picking error rates.
»
Speed - With 80% of consumers expecting same-day shipping, 3PL companies may face a monetary penalty for the delay in fulfilment.
»
Short term contracts - Most 3PL warehouses run on leased spaces, making fixed infrastructure a barrier to agility. Faster-to-deploy, flexible automation ensures scalability, quick adaptation, and seamless onboarding for ever-changing customer needs.

Preguntas frecuentes

  • What factors determine the cost of automating a 3PL warehouse?

    The cost depends on warehouse size, SKU volume, order throughput, and the type of robots used. Since every 3PL operates differently, solutions are customised according to their requirement. For an exact cost estimate, please get in touch with our experts.

  • How long does it take to implement warehouse automation for 3PLs?

    Timelines for 3PLs vary by warehouse size, client base, and SKU range. Modular systems like parcel sortation or batch picking can go live in a few months, with stepwise deployment helping smooth integration with multi-client WMS and order flows. Phase-wise automation details for this implementation are available on our whitepaper.

  • We have 3PL supporting multiple clients with various types of orders. Can automation still help us?

    For 3PLs handling multiple clients and SKUs, Addverb’s batch picking, robotic sortation system, and our Fleet management system keep orders separated and accurate while managing both B2B bulk shipments and B2C parcels. This enables true omni-channel fulfillment.

  • Can 3PLs test warehouse capacity before onboarding new clients?

    Yes, Addverb’s digital twin lets 3PLs simulate new client volumes, order types, and SKUs. This helps test throughput, spot bottlenecks, and confidently commit to service levels before onboarding. Moreover, our Movect - Addverb's proprietary FMS can also help in emulating impact on throughput on increasing or decreasing the number of robots in your fleet.

  • How can 3PLs reduce turnaround times for returns?

    Addverb’s automation handles returns with robotic scanning, fast conveyor sortation, and dedicated workflows. This speeds up processing, enabling quicker resale or faster client credit updates.
