We manage your freight from origin to your door. Our warehouse and logistics services in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and at major manufacturing hubs in China, India and Europe provide value-added services at each point in the supply chain.
By outsourcing your third party logistics function, you free up your working capital, gain better control of your cash flow and forecasting, and reclaim your time to focus on sales and the strategic direction of your business. Rather than managing complex logistics internally, 3PL partnerships allow you to scale operations flexibly without the overhead of dedicated staff or infrastructure.
Why Outsource Your Logistics Function?
Third-party logistics (3PL) is increasingly essential for Australian businesses seeking competitive advantage. When you partner with an experienced 3PL provider like Magellan, you benefit from specialist expertise, established networks, and advanced technology that would be costly to develop in-house. This approach reduces operational complexity, improves inventory accuracy, and enables rapid expansion into new markets without significant capital investment.

Warehouse management, FCL and LCL unpack and storage and cross-docking – optimising container utilisation and reducing dwell times
