Title: "Strategic Choices in E-Commerce Logistics: Unveiling the Nuances Between Amazon's 3PL Solutions and Alternatives"
 
Presented by:

About the Program:  Businesses that sell products on any type of e-commerce platform will need to manage logistical challenges daily. The needs can include--but are not limited to--shipping, packaging, kitting, and warehousing. Historically, these laborious and time-consuming tasks fell on internal teams. With the e-commerce and Amazon boom, third-party logistics (3PL) providers have become the preferred solution for companies to outsource the work, streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance accuracy.

Can your company benefit from a 3PL partner like Amazon, or would a more tailored, non-Amazon provider be a better fit? And what is the best way to start that process? This presentation will introduce you to what a 3PL can do for your business, what to look for in a trusted 3PL partner, and the difference between Amazon and non-Amazon options.

Key Points of the Program:
-- Introduction to 3PL Services
-- Overview of Amazon 3PL
-- Overview of Non-Amazon 3PL Providers (such as Herrschners)
-- Key Differences and Advantages of both Amazon 3PL and Non-Amazon 3PL
-- Challenges
-- Case Studies
