Outgrowing your current 3PL or facing service issues? Here’s a structured guide to switching providers without disrupting operations.

Steps to Follow:

  1. Assess Pain Points: Understand what’s not working.
  2. Shortlist New Providers: Look for better tech, support, or value.
  3. Plan Transition: Communicate clearly with both old and new partners.
  4. Run Parallel Tests: Start small to iron out kinks.
  5. Switch Gradually: Avoid sudden transitions that risk downtime.
