How to Save Time and Money with a One Stop Shipping Solutions Provider

When it comes to managing your company’s logistics and supply chain, life can quickly get hectic. Needing to seek out carriers for each mode of transportation that you require costs you time, money, and resources. This is why working with a one stop shipping solutions provider can save you from a major headache.

You’ll only need to establish a relationship with one party.

Working with a third-party logistics company (3PL) that is able to provide multiple modes of transportation including truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal, and international, as well as technology solutions, gives you an all-in-one avenue to get your freight where it needs to go in the most cost and time-efficient manner.  A 3PL, like Trinity, will assign you to a single sales representative that will be your main point of contact for shipments of any kind, versus needing to establish relationships with multiple representatives across multiple shipping companies.

Time is money.

If you’ve got your employees tied up in rate shopping and tracking shipments, you could be wasting some of your most valuable resources. Whether you’re currently working with multiple 3PLs or routing your shipments through asset-based carriers, you might be wasting more time than you think. By working with a one stop shipping solutions provider, you can free up your team to accomplish bigger and better tasks. Let your  provider do all of the dirty work behind getting your shipments where they need to go.

More volume to one provider means lower shipping rates.

The higher volume of shipments you’re able to provide to a single 3PL, the more leverage they’ll have with carriers to negotiate shipping rates. So, instead of spreading your freight out to multiple providers, choosing a 3PL that can service all of your needs could end up saving you not only time, but money as well.

You’ll be able to simplify your administrative tasks.

After you find multiple different carriers to haul your freight,  you may end up with a pile of invoices bigger than you. Perhaps one of the most relieving aspects of working with a one-stop shop is eliminating the need to pay multiple invoices to a range of carriers. By choosing one logistics solutions provider, you’ll only need to worry about paying a single shipping company.

Aside from the time and money savings, choosing a one-stop shop logistics provider can relieve you from stresses that go along with managing contact lists and invoices.
