3PL services to support your ecommerce business
As your ecommerce inventory grows, so does the need for an efficient and automated 3PL partner. Our flagship warehouse ideally located on Manchester Airport’s World Freight Terminal, along with an experienced team, provide safe and secure storage and distribution for your ecommerce business.
With increasing customer demand, fast response time and visibility are of the essence for ecommerce. Through our integrated tracking system, our clients can easily view the status and progression of stock inventory, allowing us to continually improve on-time performance, reduce costs and proactively communicate more effectively with customers and partners.
We work with a wide range of retail and ecommerce clients, seeking every opportunity to deliver added value to our customers through speed and transparency. Our comprehensive 3PL services ensure that our clients’ products are ready to be supplied at the highest levels of retail availability either online or through major retail outlets.
Working with a 3PL partner like Blacksmith Freight, we can provide operational expertise, and the physical infrastructure to create a truly efficient and effective supply chain for your eCommerce business, ensuring that your goods get into the right hands, at the right time.
“Blacksmith Freight have been handling our logistics for over 15 years. The relationship has since grown to include ongoing logistics for Greene King with Blacksmith Freight becoming a trusted and collaborative logistics partner.
Their location on Manchester Airport’s Freight Terminal is a huge advantage for us; whenever we need something urgent, they’re right on the doorstep and ready to react quickly. They go above and beyond to ensure our products are prioritised. We don’t class them as a logistics supplier, but as a strategic collaborator of our business.”
