Fifth Event: How to Select the Right 3PL for Your Company – A Sedlak Virtual Event with Barrett Distribution 

Outsourcing fulfillment, distribution, and transportation is a critical part of many businesses who rely on third parties to support some or all of their business.  The percentage of companies relying on third parties to provide these services has grown and will continue to grow according to Armstrong & Associates.  Over the past several years, the process to source, select, contract, deploy, and manage a 3PL has increased in complexity.  Getting it wrong can be very costly to both parties.  This webinar will discuss some of the key factors in determining how to source the best 3PL for your company and your particular requirements.
