Shipping for
3PL partners.
A carrier-services layer beneath your 3PL operation.
Overview
If you run a 3PL, you already handle the warehouse and the WMS. What you need is the right carrier mix and the right rate. L5 plugs in as your carrier-services layer — USPS work-share access, multi-carrier rate-shopping across UPS, FedEx, and DHL, and a named account rep who fights for rates and files claims so your operations team doesn't have to.
What gets in the way.
- —
Negotiating carrier rates without the volume of a national 3PL
- —
Managing multi-carrier rate logic in your WMS
- —
Filing claims across multiple carriers
- —
Passing through rates competitively to your end-customers

Program design.
We design carrier mix, service tiers, and operational workflow tailored to your industry's requirements. USPS work-share plus multi-carrier is the default stack.
