In the dynamic world of third-party logistics (3PL), warehouse efficiency is the backbone of success. With the constant movement of goods across industries like FMCG, fashion, manufacturing, and food & beverage, having the right racking and shelving systems makes the difference between streamlined operations and costly bottlenecks.
At Dexion, we specialise in delivering racking and shelving solutions tailored to the complexities of 3PL providers. Our systems are engineered to maximise storage density, throughput, and scalability, ensuring warehouses can adapt quickly to market demands while maintaining accuracy, safety, and compliance.
What is Third-Party Logistics & What Do They Do?
Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) are specialised businesses that manage warehousing, transportation, and distribution on behalf of their clients. These providers act as an extension of the supply chain, supporting global brands with:
- Efficient warehousing and inventory management
- Order fulfilment and distribution
- Customised solutions for diverse product types and storage requirements
Because 3PL providers serve multiple clients—each with unique product profiles and fluctuating volumes—their storage infrastructure must be flexible, scalable, and ready to integrate with automation and digital systems like Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).
Importance of Having Optimal Racking & Shelving Solutions for Third-Party Logistics
With tight margins and high customer expectations, 3PL providers cannot afford inefficiencies in storage and handling. The right racking and shelving systems are critical to:
Maximise Space Utilisation – Vertical racking and modular shelving ensure every square metre is productive.
- Support Automation & Integration – Smart Roller Conveyors, pallet flow racking, and WMS integration accelerate picking, packing, and shipping.
- Enhance Safety & Compliance – Systems are designed to meet strict industry standards while protecting workers and inventory.
- Enable Scalability – As demand grows, modular and multi-tier systems expand easily without disrupting operations.
Real-world examples highlight the difference. For instance, DHL consolidated operations from five separate warehouses into one centralised Interlink MegaHub, improving space utilisation and operational efficiency with Dexion’s customised solutions. Toll IPEC benefited from modular racking systems and advanced data tracking that future-proofed their facility for freight growth.
