Definition: "Relationship between a shipper and a Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider, which compared with more basic services of Transport and Storage has more customised offerings. 3PL Logistics providers encompass a broader range of service functions and are characterised by a longer term more mutually beneficial relationship"
3PL Logistics involves the physical distribution, receiving, storing and moving of products from the point of manufacture to the end user.

THE CARROLL'S POINT OF DIFFERENCE
At Carroll’s we have the facilities, expertise and enthusiasm along with a proven history of providing our customers with what they want. In this highly competitive market we pride ourselves on being able to offer a boutique service, rather than a supermarket style operation. We have senior people always on the shop floor and our smaller size enables us to provide services to our customers at the same level as if they were operating their own in-house services. Our prices are competitive through efficiency and lower overheads than our larger competitors.
Our 3PL services are about working with our customers to achieve a desired outcome. We will not go the long way around, if something can be done better we will proactively do it. The end result being an outstanding service at a cost effective price.
