3PL Services for Consumer Packaged Goods

Harness bespoke, omni-channel logistics designed for the CPG supply chain.

Clear Logistics Hurdles with Legacy

Managing extensive product lines, navigating fluctuating consumer demand, meeting strict shelf-life requirements, coordinating multiple distribution channels — these are just a few factors that can complicate CPG logistics. We understand the complexities of the CPG industry inside and out, and we offer customized, scalable solutions to help you fulfill orders with ease.

  • Diverse retail compliance requirements complicate fulfillment processes.

    Different retailers can have different regulatory obligations, which can be a nightmare to navigate. We ship into virtually every major retailer and have the expertise and compliance record to ensure that nothing gets delayed due to missed windows or non-compliant shipments. What’s more, our well-positioned, multi-client warehouses allow us to reach 95% of the population in two days or less.

  • Inventory mismanagement drives up costs and compromises revenue.

    Balancing SKU variety with inventory levels is an ongoing challenge. Overstocking results in tied-up capital and storage inefficiencies, while understocking leads to missed sales and service level disruptions. Legacy’s integrated inventory management system provides real-time tracking and optimization, ensuring precise control over stock levels and reducing excess inventory.

  • Lack of supply chain visibility leads to poor performance.
    Limited visibility across the supply chain creates blind spots that disrupt fulfillment. Inaccurate or delayed data from manufacturing plants, third-party warehouses or transit providers can lead to inefficiencies and slow response times, especially during peak periods. Legacy offers end-to-end visibility through integrated, real-time tracking solutions, enabling full transparency across the supply chain and ensuring proactive decision-making.
  • High return volumes compromise quality and reputation.
    Managing high return volumes in categories like personal care or consumables creates significant reverse logistics challenges. Coordinating inspections, restocking and disposal within an already fast-paced supply chain can create bottlenecks and inventory inaccuracies. Legacy streamlines reverse logistics with a dedicated returns management process, reducing errors and keeping your inventory cycle intact.
  • Transportation capacity constraints impact delivery deadlines.
    Seasonal demand spikes and surges create strain on transportation networks, inflating freight costs and causing delays. Without flexible, scalable logistics partnerships, CPG companies can struggle to meet tight delivery windows, which impacts retailers and consumers alike. Legacy provides scalable transportation solutions with flexible capacity to handle demand surges, ensuring reliable, cost-effective transportation year-round.
When we engage in new areas & markets, LEGACY is partnered to bring forth the solution expertise, development and ultimately execution.”
