3PL Outsource Break-even
Compare in-house transport cost vs outsourced 3PL rates to identify the break-even volume.
Formula: inhouse_total_cost = monthly_volume_tonnes * inhouse_cost_per_tonne + inhouse_fixed_cost_per_month; tpl_total_cost = monthly_volume_tonnes * tpl_rate_per_tonne; monthly_diff = monthly_volume_tonnes * inhouse_cost_per_tonne + inhouse_fixed_cost_per_month - monthly_volume_tonnes * tpl_rate_per_tonne; breakeven_volume = inhouse_fixed_cost_per_month / max(tpl_rate_per_tonne - inhouse_cost_per_tonne, 0.01)
