European 3PL Provider

[BusterBloodvessel]

Morning All,

We are investigating the idea of putting some stock into a 3PL in Europe to service European customers. Possibly Belgium or Netherlands but open to ideas. Has anyone any recommendations of providers? Would be great to have an intro call or two. Have dealt with DSV for this in a previous life but found them "too big" and completely inflexible.

Any recommendations would be welcome.

netherland have delamonde and tgi which is decent enough for most operations, i have had them ship and work with speaker units etc, now i am not sure what you mean by "too big" but ideally you should be running on systems which can fire orders to them electronically and they perform the Goods Receipts for inbound and Pick / Pack for outbound.

For a smaller operation, I’d definitely look at independent or mid-sized 3PLs rather than the big providers. They’re often more flexible with storage, fulfilment and shipping requirements. Belgium and the Netherlands both seem like good locations for serving EU customers.
