3rd Party Logistics and Fulfillment
In the past, many third-party logistics (3PL) providers have been hesitant to invest in new technology and automation. In addition to a large upfront expenditure, a 3PL’s requirements can vary widely and frequently based on its current clients, volumes and locations. This makes it challenging for many providers—especially small to medium-sized 3PL operations—to justify the investment and allocate the amount of space required to implement traditional automation solutions. However, surging e-commerce sales and an ongoing labor shortage are prompting more 3PLs to explore automation. Tompkins Robotics is gaining momentum in the third-party logistics market with its autonomous mobile sortation robots. Renowned for their affordability, flexibility and scalability, tSort™ enables 3PLs to rapidly—and drastically—increase efficiency and productivity at a fraction of the cost of other automated systems.
