Run your own warehouse better, or hand it to a partner.

How BizBloqs compares to outsourcing fulfilment to a 3PL

At some point every growing operator asks whether to professionalise the warehouse they have, or to hand fulfilment to a third-party logistics partner. Both are legitimate. The answer depends on how much your handling is a differentiator, how volatile your volume is, and whether you can afford the loss of direct control.

Best fit for BizBloqs

Operators whose product handling, assembly, customisation or service level is part of the proposition, and who want fixed, predictable software cost instead of variable handling fees.

Best fit for 3PL outsourcing

Operators with sharply seasonal volume, no space, or no wish to manage people and buildings, whose product is standard enough to be handled by anyone.

The honest verdict

Outsource when fulfilment is a cost centre you would rather not run. Keep it in house — with proper software — when handling is part of what customers pay for, or when per-order fees on your growth curve outrun the cost of doing it yourself.
