3PL (Third-Party Logistics)

Your Complete Outsourced Logistics Partner

Alkebulan General Trading offers comprehensive third-party logistics (3PL) services that empower businesses to outsource their warehousing, distribution, and fulfillment operations to a trusted logistics partner. Focus on growing your core business while we handle the complexities of storing, managing, and delivering your products with precision and efficiency.


What is 3PL?

Third-party logistics (3PL) refers to outsourcing logistics and supply chain functions to a specialized external provider. Instead of managing your own warehouses, inventory, and distribution network, you partner with a 3PL provider like Alkebulan General Trading to handle these operations on your behalf.

Our 3PL services provide the infrastructure, expertise, technology, and workforce needed to manage your logistics efficiently—allowing you to reduce costs, improve service levels, and scale your operations without the capital investment required for in-house logistics.
