What is a 3PL (Third Party Logistics)?
The easiest answer is - a 3PL manages order fulfillment and all the other "logistical functions" on behalf of other businesses. Meaning, they handle the daily activities such as receiving inventory, picking orders, packaging boxes and making the frequent, and sometimes frantic, trips to the post office.
3PL stands for Third-Party Logistics (3PL), and at Atomix, we are your 3PL Fulfillment Partner that is a bit different than most.
Industry-Leading 3PL Partners allow brands, merchants and ecommerce sellers of any size to scale more quickly by delegating the challenges and difficulty of operations. In particular, 3PLs manage omnichannel fulfillment, inventory management, and the post-purchase customer cycle to increase revenue and save on shipping costs.

Inhouse vs. Outsource Fulfillment
When shipping orders, there's only two ways to do so: inhouse (your own warehouse) or outsource (3PL fulfillment partner).
At Atomix, we realized that shouldn't be the case. Our unique fulfillment model "closed the gap" between choosing outsourcing and doing it yourself. Now, with a partner like Atomix, you can realize the benefits of both while reducing the daily management and headaches.
Owned & Managed Processes: Initially, sure, it's cheaper and relatively easy to setup operations in your garage. But at Atomix, when your inventory and sales grow, you can still keep the same processes and customization you did yourself.
Save on Costs: You can estimate the time-consuming hours spent on fulfillment management and realize how valuable your time is and should be spent on growth. It's crucial to realize where you want to scale to before it's too overwhelming.
Growth: Now, enter new markets across the world, access 2-day shipping and included software to breakthrough the initial hurdles of launching and growing a brand.
