Tier II 3PLs Find Niche According to Pcdata Newsletter Picking Perfection

East Granby, CT, April 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Picking Perfection newsletter shared Amy Roach Partridge’s reporting for Inbound Logistics that Tier II 3PLs are finding their niche and that 3PLs come in many shapes and sizes. The "not-too-big and not-too-small" proportions of Tier II 3PLs make them just right for many shippers. Bigger is not always better. Just ask the satisfied customers of third-party logistics providers (3PLs) who not the biggest fish in the pond. So-called Tier II 3PLs generally bring in revenue of less than $250 million annually, and often offer some specialization in mode, vertical, region, or technology that allows them to carve out their own niche. Clipper Logistics reported its busiest ever period, in the run up to Christmas 2014. Volumes handled by the 3PL were 100.0% higher than the comparable period in 2013 and 400.0% higher than a typical weekend. Clipper received a tremendous uplift in the volume of orders, well in excess of forecast. Clipper processed orders for over two million items, or nearly six items per second over the four days. 100.0% of these orders were processed within the clients’ designated lead-time, fulfilling their customer commitments.
