[SOP Community] How to choose the best 3PL
Finding a 3PL is easy; finding the right one is one of the hardest operational challenges an e-commerce brand faces.
Matt Hertz is an e-commerce operations leader passionate about scaling startups and building world-class customer experiences. As the Founder and CEO of Third Person, he runs the industry's premier "3PL matchmaking" service, helping brands navigate the complex logistics landscape to find their perfect fulfillment partners.
In this session, hosted by Parabola, Matt will cut through the sales pitches to discuss:
The "Hidden" Evaluation Criteria. Beyond price and location - what you actually need to ask to uncover a 3PL's true capabilities.
Contract Red Flags. The common "gotchas" in 3PL agreements that throttle growth and kill margins.
The "Dating" Phase. How to run a structured RFP process that filters out the noise and identifies your perfect long-term partner.
Come ready with your questions - this will be a highly actionable conversation!
