Here’s why companies should consider partnering with us for ready-to-drink beverage 3PL services.
Third-Party Logistics for Ready-to-Drink Beverages: Advantages
The advantages of third-party logistics for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages extend well beyond basic storage and transportation. According to Texas Capital Bank’s beverage industry insights, the ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage market is projected to experience an annual sales increase of around 20% (1). This means RTD beverage manufacturers must maintain efficient logistics solutions to keep their business flowing, or risk bottlenecks.
RTD products—including energy drinks, bottled water, cold brew coffee, carbonated beverages, and functional waters such as vitamin water—require specialized handling and efficient logistics to ensure continued business profitability. Partnering with a 3PL provider can help beverage brands streamline their supply chain, especially when scaling operations across borders.
Ready-to-Drink Beverage Manufacturer in San Francisco, California: Example
For example, a ready-to-drink manufacturer headquartered in San Francisco, California, produces flavored energy drinks and aims to distribute them to retailers throughout the United States and Canada.
With a 3PL provider, the beverage company doesn’t have to manage the complexities of warehouse operations, the costs for temperature-controlled vehicles, or deal with customs.
The 3PL Provider handles:
- Freight transportation
- Warehousing operations
- Regulatory compliance
- Customs paperwork
- Cross-border freight forwarding
3PL providers that service beverages free time and resources for the company to focus on product innovation and marketing. This partnership with the 3PL provider reduces overhead, minimizes delivery time, and ensures consistent, reliable service, eliminating the need for the beverage company to build its own logistics infrastructure and maintain efficient transportation costs.
