3PLS

What 3PLS does

3PLS is a Chilean third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 2009 and headquartered at the Bodenor Flexcenter – ENEA complex in Pudahuel, Santiago. The company operates approximately 10,000 m² of warehousing and production facilities — including 5,500 m² of dedicated warehouse space and 8 production lines — and serves online retailers, retail brands, importers, fashion/apparel ecommerce, and corporate buyers across Chile. Its portfolio spans warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, value-added services (labeling, re-packing, regulatory stickers, promotional kits), order kitting (mecanizado) for high-volume personalized sets, and broader commercial back-office services. A sub-brand, 3PLS Market, sources products through alliances with approximately 37 consumer-goods brands and assembles and distributes custom gift baskets and seasonal (Christmas) kits nationwide.

The technology stack is built around a proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS) using PDA handheld scanners for real-time inventory traceability, paired with API and plugin integrations to major ecommerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, VTEX, Mercado Libre). This enables automated order ingestion, real-time stock synchronization, and shipment tracking across online stores and marketplaces, supporting a standard SLA of dispatch within a maximum of 120 hours. Eco-friendly packing inputs (recyclable boxes, compostable bags, paper tape) are embedded in the fulfillment workflow. Specialized regulatory knowledge covers Chilean food-labeling rules, including Spanish-language requirements, "ALTO EN" warning seals, and importer traceability.

3PLS operates a private, B2B, quote-based commercial model ("Cotiza aquí") across multiple service lines, billing per order, per service, or per square meter of warehouse used, with no publicly disclosed pricing or rate cards. Marketing relies on a Spanish-language SEO-oriented blog (30+ posts) and LinkedIn rather than paid acquisition, and customer engagement is direct through an in-house commercial team (Verónica Moreira, Carolina Alvarez, Carolina Reyes). The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, cap-table detail, or revenue figures, and all sources describe operations as Chile-only with no international footprint.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Shipit: Chilean ecommerce fulfillment and shipping aggregator that connects online stores to multiple carriers and warehouses. Overlaps with 3PLS's ecommerce fulfillment value proposition, especially for SMB Shopify/WooCommerce merchants.
• Cornershop by Uber: On-demand grocery and goods delivery platform with strong Chile presence. Adjacent rather than direct peer, but competes for some last-mile fulfillment labor capacity and corporate gifting/delivery demand in the same Chilean market.

Broad incumbents

• Chilexpress: One of Chile's largest courier and logistics companies, offering parcel, fulfillment and supply-chain services nationwide. Broader incumbent than 3PLS with greater scale, broader service portfolio and enterprise customers.
• Mercado Libre (Mercado Libre Envíos): Latin American marketplace that operates its own fulfillment arm (Mercado Libre Envíos / Full) — one of the named integrations in 3PLS's WMS. Broad incumbent competing for the same Chilean ecommerce fulfillment wallet.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global contract logistics and supply-chain operator with presence in Chile. Broad incumbent that competes with 3PLS for large enterprise and retail warehousing/VAS contracts, though 3PLS focuses on the Chilean mid-market.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global logistics company with contract logistics and warehousing services across Latin America, including Chile. Overlaps with 3PLS in warehousing, VAS and value-added fulfillment for multinational retail and consumer-goods clients.

Regional players

• Cubbo: Latin American tech-enabled fulfillment provider for ecommerce brands, with operations across Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Colombia. Regional peer offering comparable ecommerce fulfillment model with software-led stack, though not headquartered in Chile.
• Cubyn: European-origin fulfillment-as-a-service provider for ecommerce merchants, expanding across Europe. Adjacent peer in the tech-enabled fulfillment category with similar per-order pricing and WMS/API-driven model.

Direct peers

• Blue Express: Chilean courier and logistics operator offering parcel delivery, warehousing and fulfillment services to ecommerce and retail clients. Direct competitor to 3PLS in Chilean last-mile and 3PL services, with overlapping B2B customer base.
• Starken: Chilean parcel and logistics company providing courier, warehousing and ecommerce fulfillment. Directly comparable to 3PLS in domestic B2B fulfillment and last-mile services for Chilean retailers.
