Why Work With One 3PL Infrastructure Partner
3PL projects that split racking, automation, and construction across vendors slow down client onboarding. MTLI runs the project as one team.
- One point of contact from design through commissioning
- Racking, automation, and construction scopes stay on one schedule
- Fewer handoffs between trades speeds up onboarding
- One team accountable for uptime across every client account
- Maintenance from the same team that installed the system
National 3PL, 12-Site Standardization Program
The Challenge
A national 3PL with inconsistent infrastructure across 12 facilities needed standardization for operational efficiency.
The Solution
MTLI developed a standard racking and automation package, then rolled it out across all 12 sites over 18 months with zero disruption to client operations.
Results
- Standardized operations
- 20% productivity increase
- Reduced training time
- Simplified maintenance
Signs You Need 3PL Warehouse Automation
Operators usually reach out once these signals show up across client accounts:
- Racking and layout changes take weeks every time a client contract changes
- Seasonal peak capacity sits unused most of the year
- Onboarding a new client delays revenue by months, not weeks
- Labor costs swing with client turnover instead of staying predictable
- Multiple clients share space but not a common automation platform
Order Fulfillment Automation Systems We Deploy
MTLI installs order fulfillment automation systems built to move between clients and configurations, not locked to one layout.
AMRs for Flexible Picking
Autonomous mobile robots adapt quickly to changing pick paths and fulfillment workflows.
Modular Conveyor Systems
Reconfigurable conveyor sections expand or relocate with minimal operational disruption.
Portable Sortation
Mobile sortation systems support seasonal peaks and changing order volumes.
Cloud-Based WCS
Cloud-based warehouse control software enables rapid onboarding and centralized operations.
Pick-to-Light Systems
Light-directed picking technology improves order accuracy while increasing picking speed.
How Our 3PL Warehouse Automation Comes Together
Every 3PL project follows the same process, sized to fit a new client contract or a seasonal ramp.
Assess
We review your client mix, seasonal volume swings, and lease terms to size the right solution.
Design
Our team lays out racking and automation that can be reconfigured as clients change.
Deploy
Pre-engineered components and modular construction bring new capacity online in as little as 30 days.
Support
24/7 maintenance keeps multi-tenant operations running through peak season and beyond.
The ROI of 3PL Warehouse Automation
Pay-per-use automation and modular racking reduce the capital outlay tied to any single client contract. Our warehouse automation ROI breakdown covers payback timelines for conveyor and sortation upgrades in multi-client facilities.
- Lower capital cost per client onboarded
- Equipment reused across contracts instead of retired with a client
- Seasonal capacity added without a permanent facility expansion
- Faster onboarding shortens time to first revenue on a new account

3PL Warehouse Automation: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3PL warehouse automation?
3PL warehouse automation covers the racking, conveyor, sortation, and software systems built to reconfigure as clients and volume change, rather than fixed automation designed around one operation.
What is third party logistics infrastructure?
Third party logistics infrastructure includes the racking, mezzanines, and facility layout that support multi-tenant, multi-client operations, built for quick reconfiguration between contracts.
What are order fulfillment automation systems?
Order fulfillment automation systems combine AMRs, modular conveyor, portable sortation, and cloud-based WCS software to move orders through a facility without being locked to a single client layout.
How fast can new capacity go online?
MTLI runs 30-day installation programs using pre-engineered components and modular construction for time-sensitive client onboarding.
Does automation make sense for seasonal capacity?
Yes. Pay-per-use automation and modular racking add capacity for peak season without a permanent facility expansion, then scale back down.
