Many corners of the bakery and snack market operate under tight margins, leaving little room for error. A delayed delivery can result in goods that arrive too late to be sold. Visibility of each truck and real-time updates showing progress of the delivery schedule are essential to keep deliveries on track and customers informed.
Third-party logistics (3PL), the use of a third-party business to outsource elements of a company’s warehousing, distribution and/or fulfillment services, can help snack producers and bakeries deliver products more effectively, often customized to meet customer needs.
