The growth in online sales and increasing consumer demand for faster delivery and lower prices have spiked demand for 3PL services across multiple industries. At Crusader Logistics, we provide 3PL (third-party logistics) services to clients in the automotive industry.

The primary benefit of using a 3PL service to handle logistics, such as packaging, warehousing, fulfillment and distribution, is cost savings -- for example, not having to maintain a warehouse or the staff to monitor supply chain operations. Additionally, outsourcing logistics to a 3PL can improve a company's customer service and order processing times, as well as free up internal resources to focus on other areas of the business.

Our key clients in the automotive industry are Sumitomo Rubber and Hesto Harnesses. By contracting with a 3PL provider such as Crusader Logistics, these companies can use supply and distribution services only when needed, thus controlling costs more effectively while focusing on their core competencies.
