Switching 3PL Partners
Changing logistics partners is entirely feasible, but it requires careful planning. Here are the factors that typically determine how smoothly the transition will be.
Common Reasons for Switching
- Communication isn't working – it takes too long to get answers to questions.
- The pricing model is difficult to understand or monitor.
- The process is too standardised for the operational deviations your business needs.
- Quality has declined as the partner has grown.
Pre-Switch Checklist
- Review the notice period and terms for stock withdrawal in your current contract.
- Reconcile stock levels before the move – discrepancies are easier to investigate before rather than after.
- Choose a transition date outside of peak season.
- Plan how existing orders in the system will be handled during the transition.
- Ensure your product catalogue is updated before it's transferred.
How We Manage Your Move
We review your product range, volume, and current setup, plan the inbound delivery, and agree on a day for the order flow to switch over. Our goal is for your store to continue accepting orders throughout this period.
We develop a tailored solution based on your products, order volume, and markets. The specific components included and the compensation structure will be detailed in your quotation.
Vanliga frågor
How long does a switch take?
This depends on the size of your product range, the notice period with your current partner, and how quickly the goods can be moved. We will create a timeline together rather than providing a general estimate.
Does my online store need to close during the move?
Our aim is for your store to remain open. During the actual switchover, there may be a short period of limited handling, which will be planned in advance.
