As the e-commerce industry rapidly grows, the demand for 3PL warehousing continues to rise, with businesses increasingly outsourcing logistics to focus on core activities. How can 3PL warehouses enhance operational efficiency? HPRT's range of warehouse scanners and handheld PDAs provide the ideal solution.

These devices not only offer accurate data collection but also seamlessly integrate with warehouse management systems (WMS), creating an efficient, transparent, and traceable supply chain system for businesses.

What is 3PL?

Third-party logistics (3PL) refers to outsourcing logistics and warehousing management to specialized service providers. These providers handle various services, such as warehousing, order fulfillment, and transportation, helping businesses improve operational efficiency while reducing costs.

Common 3PL services include:

● Warehouse management: Goods receipt, storage, inventory counting, and stock management.

● Transportation: Road, rail, and air shipping services.

● Order fulfillment: Processing, picking, packing, and dispatching orders.

● Value-added services: Labeling, product assembly, and returns management.

HPRT Warehouse Scanners Boost 3PL Warehouse Efficiency

Barcode systems are at the heart of modern 3PL warehousing operations. Each inbound product and shipping box is labeled with a barcode for identification. HPRT's range of flexible mobile scanning devices, including handheld PDAs, provides robust support for efficient 3PL warehouse management.

Warehouse staff equipped with handheld PDAs can freely move within the warehouse, scanning barcodes at any time, enabling fast and accurate data collection.

From goods receipt and inventory checks to order picking and dispatch, these mobile scanning devices work seamlessly with WMS systems, providing real-time data synchronization, thus ensuring accurate inventory information and boosting overall efficiency.

The latest HPRT M2 Plus rugged Android PDA features a high-performance octa-core processor running on Android 12, providing smooth operation. Its advanced 2D barcode scanning engine quickly and accurately reads both 1D and 2D barcodes, even damaged or high-density ones.

With a 5.7-inch display, the interface is easy to navigate, offering a clearer view of information. Plus, the large, removable battery provides long-lasting power, ensuring uninterrupted use during extended work shifts.

Additionally, during 3PL return processes, such as when FBA sellers handle returned goods through third-party overseas warehouses, warehouse staff can simply scan the barcode using HPRT's PDA. This automatically updates inventory, generates return slips, and makes the entire return handling process more efficient.

Barcode Scanners for Fixed Workstations

HPRT also offers a wide range of wired and wireless barcode scanners ideal for 3PL warehousing tasks at fixed workstations or confined spaces, such as packaging and labeling. These warehouse-grade scanners can easily connect to various devices, helping workers swiftly and accurately confirm incoming goods and complete other processes efficiently.
