3PL Fulfilment Contract Logistics

Someone else's inventory, your liability

A third-party logistics operator holds goods it doesn't own, staffed heavily with temporary labour, at volumes that make small percentage losses material. Clients audit you on it. DWG helps operators specify systems that satisfy both the operation and the client.

You're specifying to a client's expectation, not just your own

The system frequently has to satisfy a customer's security requirements as a condition of the contract, which raises the bar above what the operator would choose alone.

We help scope coverage to client-facing requirements as well as internal loss prevention, specify access control that handles heavy temporary-labour turnover, review bills of materials for dock, floor, cage and returns separately, and confirm the system can produce evidence a client will accept. How the work gets done is shaped around you: we can coordinate with the integrator or contractor you already use, bring the right integration and field resources in ourselves, or anything in between — whatever the project needs.

How we engage

The greatest opportunity to improve a project exists before anything is purchased. We support every phase — the earlier we're involved, the more value we add.

1. Plan

Requirements, constraints, budget and timing.

2. Evaluate

Comparison across manufacturers, integration with what's installed, cybersecurity review.

3. Specify

Specification assistance, BOM review, value engineering, lifecycle costing.

4. Procure

Quoting, availability, lead times and supply-chain flags.

5. Deploy

Coordinated delivery and deployment, with the resources managed as one project.

6. Support

Technical support, spares and refresh planning.

Questions we help you answer

Most suppliers focus on selling products. We focus on helping you make an informed decision — and these are the questions worth settling first.

  • Does this satisfy our clients' security requirements?
  • How do we credential heavy temporary-labour turnover?
  • What covers dock, returns and high-value cage areas?
  • Can we produce footage a client will accept as evidence?
  • How does this tie into WMS for exception review?
  • Can one design repeat across our other buildings?
  • What happens when we take on a new client with new rules?

Answered early, these prevent the expensive corrections that surface once equipment is on site.
