Reviews about Tracon Services Pvt. Ltd.

My experience with Tracon

Nov 16, 2015
Full Time, Working since Oct 1, 2015 as HR Manager
Recommend CEO:   
Recommend to friend:   
Company Future:   
Pros:
1)      Flexibility. Since you only pay for what you use and can walk away whenever you want, 3PLs are ideal for businesses that aren’t yet ready for the commitment of leasing a warehouse and hiring staff.
2)      Convenience. Outsourcing your logistics leaves you to focus on other important aspects of your business. You simply send your customers’ orders to your 3PL and the 3PL despatches them for you. At the end of the billing period, you receive one consolidated invoice for the services used, which usually comprises a “rent” that is based upon the volume of space you are occupying; plus a fee for each order processed; plus a fee for freight management.
3)      Expertise. From simple things such as labelling and barcoding your products through to trading electronically with larger retailers, your 3PL’s experience and access to the latest technologies mean they’ll be more organized and better at it than you.
4)      Better transport rates. As they organize deliveries for all their clients, your 3PL is in a position to get volume discounts from freight carriers, which may be passed on to you.
5)      Professional example. Working closely with a 3PL enables you to learn the basics of warehousing and distribution management, which can be extremely useful should you decide to setup your own warehouse in future.
Cons:
1)      Cost. Convenience comes at a price; the overall cost of using a 3PL is far greater than if you managed your logistics yourself.
2)      Loss of direct control. You are relying on the competency, reliability and honesty of the 3PL and its staff, and must assume that they know what they are doing and are always acting in your best interests.
3)      Distance. You may be several hundred kilometers away from your warehouse and merchandise, which can be a serious problem if, for example, there are quality problems with a batch of your product. Furthermore, if you have any concerns or complaints about service, you are limited to communication by phone and email.
4)      Potential loss of reputation. The 3PL is responsible for one of the most critical functions of your business. Their mistakes reflect directly on you and your customer will not accept you passing the buck on to your subcontractor.  
Advice to Management:
Whatever the size of the organisation you work in, whatever you do, your employees are your most valuable asset. If you are a director, line manager, supervisor, team leader, or head of department, the way you manage can have an important impact on the health and wellbeing of your employees, how well they do their job, and how well your organisation performs.
