3PL/4PL Warehousing
Third and fourth-party logistics for storage & fulfillment.
Warehousing Costs Scale Faster Than Revenue
For growing e-commerce businesses, fulfillment is one of the most capital-intensive parts of the operation — fixed costs (leases, staff, equipment) before you've shipped a single order. 3PL and 4PL models convert those fixed costs to variable ones, and add expertise that in-house teams rarely have.
Warehouse leases lock you into capacity you may not need
A 10,000 sqft lease priced for peak season sits half-empty the other nine months. Fixed infrastructure doesn't accommodate seasonal demand swings.
In-house teams have to manage carriers themselves
Every carrier relationship, rate negotiation, and billing dispute falls on your team. That's high-skill, time-intensive work that doesn't directly grow your business.
Scaling up means scaling costs before scaling revenue
Adding capacity — more space, more staff, more equipment — requires upfront investment before you know whether the volume will justify it.
The process, top to bottom.
We assess your storage and fulfillment requirements
We review your SKU count, order volume, seasonal patterns, and carrier mix to design a fulfillment solution that fits your operation — not a generic template.
Your inventory moves into our network
We handle inbound receiving and put-away. Your products are stored, tracked, and ready to ship within our fulfillment network.
Orders ship at Kadima's negotiated carrier rates
Every order that ships from our warehouses goes out at our negotiated carrier pricing — meaning your fulfillment cost benefit from the same rate advantages our shipping clients get.
The deliverables, in plain English.
Variable cost model
Pay for the space and fulfillment capacity you actually use. No lease commitments. No staff overhead when volume drops.
Bundled carrier optimization
Your fulfillment runs on Kadima's negotiated carrier rates — so you benefit from our DHL reseller pricing and GPO rates automatically.
4PL coordination
For complex supply chains, we manage multiple 3PL providers, carrier relationships, and logistics partners as a single point of coordination.
Scalable capacity for peak seasons
We absorb volume spikes without asking you to pre-commit to capacity. Q4 surge? We handle it without a lease amendment.
Inventory visibility
Real-time inventory tracking across all SKUs and locations. Know exactly what you have, where it is, and when to reorder.
Multi-carrier flexibility
Orders can ship via DHL, UPS, FedEx, USPS, or Amazon Shipping — automatically routed to the most cost-effective carrier based on destination, weight, and speed.
Every month you wait, the meter keeps running.
Most clients see meaningful savings within the first invoice cycle. The audit itself is free — the only thing you're risking is finding out you've been overpaying. Then you decide what to do with the number.
Who this service fits best.
Outgrowing the garage
Order volume is past what a small in-house team can handle, but a 10,000 sqft lease feels too big too fast.
Q4 surge brands
You don't want to pay peak-season capacity year-round. Variable-cost 3PL absorbs the spike without a lease amendment.

What people ask before signing up.
What is the difference between 3PL and 4PL? →
A 3PL (third-party logistics) provider handles specific logistics functions — typically warehousing, pick-and-pack, and carrier shipping. A 4PL (fourth-party logistics) provider manages the entire supply chain, including coordinating multiple 3PLs, carriers, and logistics partners. Kadima offers both depending on your needs.
Do you handle inbound freight from manufacturers? →
Yes. We coordinate inbound receiving from manufacturers, freight carriers, and domestic distribution centers. Our team manages the receiving process, counts, and inventory entry.
How is inventory tracked? →
All inventory is tracked in our warehouse management system with real-time visibility. You can see stock levels, inbound shipments, and order status at any time.
Can you handle seasonal volume spikes? →
Yes. Our warehousing model is designed to accommodate seasonal surges without requiring clients to pre-commit to peak capacity year-round. We scale with your actual volume.
Do I benefit from Kadima's carrier pricing when I use your fulfillment? →
Yes. Every order that ships through our fulfillment network goes out at our negotiated carrier rates — including DHL reseller pricing and GPO rate access. Your per-shipment cost is lower than what you'd pay managing carrier relationships directly.
