3PL and Outsourced Logistics for eCommerce
One partner for your outsourced logistics operations
Umbria Hub is a 3PL logistics provider for eCommerce businesses, operating from a warehouse in Umbria and serving the Italian market nationwide. The service is designed for online retailers that want to outsource goods receiving, storage, inventory, picking, packing, shipping and returns. Integration with the client's store keeps orders and stock within one coordinated workflow. Unlike standalone outsourced warehousing for eCommerce, 3PL places the whole logistics operation with one partner. To assess volumes, products and platform configuration, request a tailored quote.

What to entrust to a 3PL and how to manage it
Choosing a 3PL means transferring operational activities and responsibilities to a specialist partner. The scope may include receiving, storage, inventory, order preparation, shipping and returns. For a concise view of the individual stages, explore our eCommerce logistics overview.
During onboarding, the parties define who supplies product data, inbound forecasts, packing instructions and returns rules. The partner configures the agreed operational workflows and related checks. This distinction reduces ambiguity and makes the service measurable.
System integration connects the store, WMS and shipping updates. Compatibility, exchanged data, update frequency and exception handling are tested against the actual configuration before go-live.
Growth and peaks require planning: forecasts, incoming goods, priorities and resources are coordinated in the operating plan. The commercial model remains linked to the requested activities and is described in the quote together with the applicable terms.

From the initial assessment to operational launch
The service is set up around the eCommerce business's actual workflows, avoiding the transfer of undefined processes into the warehouse. 3PL onboarding covers:
- 🧭 Initial assessment — volumes, catalogue, destinations, seasonality and operating rules
- 📋 Service plan — responsibilities, included activities, service levels and commercial items
- 🔗 System configuration — store connection and testing of order, stock and tracking workflows
- 📦 Operational launch — stock transfer, initial checks and go-live of the agreed process
After go-live, volumes and issues are reviewed so that the plan can adapt to growth and scheduled peaks.
