Offshore 3PL Warehousing

Offshore 3PL Warehousing

Offshore 3PL Warehousing

If your current sourcing model doesn’t allow a mix of cargoes from multiple suppliers or multiple deliveries from suppliers, then you may want to consider a 3PL offshore warehousing or consolidation solution. At BCR, we solve these common problems with a consultation that includes an in-depth 3PL analysis of your cargo origins and shipments. Our offshore 3PL warehousing services are often treated as additional stock points supported by an advanced Warehousing Management System (WMS) to achieve full visibility at the SKU level. Your business can also reduce domestic transportation costs with offshore 3PL warehousing that is likely to improve inventory management and achieve optimised distribution. Optimised distribution at destination also often reduces inter-warehouse transfers between destination warehouses.

Consolidation and postponement

  • Consolidate cargoes for one destination and bypass distribution centres (DCs) in Australia
  • Pre-load container for multiple deliveries in Australia and only cross dock in Australia (flow through)
  • By holding stocks offshore, lead times are only about 3 weeks from Asia with postponement closer to point of consumption, resulting in improved forecast ability (push/pull hybrid)
  • Moving 3PL labour, cost-intensive processes to low-labour countries
  • 3PL consolidation services include buyer’s consolidation, short-term storage to buffer different delivery times and consolidation across multiple suppliers
