Contract logistics — common questions

What is the difference between 3PL and simple warehousing?

Warehousing stores goods; contract logistics runs a process — receiving, inventory control, order fulfillment, distribution, and reporting under agreed service levels. A 3PL takes responsibility for outcomes, not just space.

Can Emerald handle both our international freight and local distribution?

Yes — that's the point of the model. Air and ocean forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, and delivery to the final consumer can run under one agreement with one point of contact.

How is a contract logistics engagement priced?

Pricing depends on volumes, storage footprint, order profile, handling complexity, and service levels. After mapping your operation we propose a transparent structure — typically a mix of storage, handling, and per-order rates.

What visibility will we have?

Inventory levels, order status, and shipment milestones are tracked through WMS/TMS tooling with agreed reporting — so your team sees the same picture ours does.
