In today’s fast-paced business world, efficient supply chain management is critical to success. That’s where third-party logistics (3PL) comes into play. Third-party logistics refers to companies that specialize in managing various aspects of a business’s supply chain (or in some cases, a company’s entire supply chain). They specialize in services such as inventory management, warehouse storage, order fulfillment, returns processing, and transportation.

The model includes calculations and assumptions for Total Warehouses, Usable and Utilized Warehouses Area, Inbound Shipments, Outbound Shipments/Orders (4 types of orders classified by weight), Revenue from from Storage Rentals, Inbound and Outbound Shipments and Logistics Management Fees, Direct Costs, Payroll, Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity and Exit Valuation assumptions (WACC and Terminal Value) in case of a potential sale of the business.
