The criteria behind the Log Market label
01 · SITE
A visited, secure warehouse
Every warehouse is visited: a secure, well-equipped building, facilities and tools suited to the goods stored, and high operational capacity to absorb your peaks.
02 · SYSTEMS
Reliable IT
We check the systems: warehouse management, connections to online shops and marketplaces, real-time stock and order tracking.
03 · PEOPLE
Trained, committed teams
Trained staff and the mindset of teams, managers and owners: a warehouse is only as good as the people who run it.
04 · MANAGEMENT
Quality KPIs that are tracked
Performance and service-quality KPIs, rigorous management and a real understanding of e-commerce, seasonality included.
05 · TRANSPORT
Competitive carrier contracts
The 3PL's carrier rates are part of the assessment: transport is often the largest line on your logistics bill.
06 · PROGRESS
Continuous improvement
Willingness to challenge themselves and to keep improving tools and methods: we choose 3PL providers that grow with their clients.
Only a 3PL that meets all of these demanding prerequisites earns the Log Market label.
A label that has to be kept, not just earned. We reassess our 3PL providers regularly and, because we support our clients after go-live, we run satisfaction reviews with them. A 3PL that falls short on any criterion and does not fix it may lose the label.
The criterion people underestimate: integrity
A modern warehouse is not enough. Disputes between an online retailer and its 3PL far more often stem from an unscrupulous provider than from an operational problem: opaque invoicing, broken commitments, clients held back when they want to leave.
We only label sound, serious, professional and transparent companies that do not mislead their clients. It is the most underestimated criterion, and the one we never compromise on.
That is why we meet the owners and managers, not just the sales team, and why trust is assessed alongside facilities and KPIs.
What the label means for you
Less risk
Fragile, unsuitable or unreliable providers are ruled out before they ever reach you.
A faster decision
You compare a short list of 3PL providers that genuinely fit your products and flows, on the same basis.
A trusted third party
Our recommendation is free and independent: you contract directly, and we follow the go-live.
Frequently asked questions about our network
Why use Log Market rather than contacting a 3PL directly?
You get a pre-vetted shortlist (site, systems, people, KPIs, integrity), comparable offers built on your own figures and independent advice, at no cost, while always contracting directly with the 3PL you choose.
How does a 3PL earn the Log Market label?
By meeting all of our demanding prerequisites: a warehouse visit, checks on IT systems, facilities, security, performance KPIs and carrier contracts, and meetings with teams and owners to assess their seriousness and integrity.
Can a 3PL lose the label?
Yes. Our 3PL providers are reassessed regularly, and we run satisfaction reviews with the clients we support. A 3PL that falls short on any criterion and does not resolve it may have its label withdrawn.
Can a provider pay to be recommended?
No. No place in our network can be bought: a 3PL is recommended only if it fits your needs.
Which countries are your warehouses in?
The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
Does the network cover transport too?
Yes. Our 3PL providers offer parcel and pallet transport, and their carrier terms are part of the assessment. We can also run a freight tender on its own.
