Platform-Handled vs Third-Party Logistics: Which One?
Tawreed lets you choose who moves the goods. Here is the practical difference between the two modes and when each one fits.
Every project part you publish on Tawreed asks for a logistics handling mode. The two options are simple — the trade-offs are not.
Platform-handled. Tawreed solicits offers from verified logistics companies on your behalf. You get 2–6 quotes per shipment within 24 hours, can compare price, ETA, truck type, and pick. Insurance and tracking are mandatory.
Third-party (your own carrier). The factory ships through your existing logistics partner. Faster setup if you already have a relationship, but you lose the price-discovery effect.
Rule of thumb: platform-handled for any cross-city or cross-border shipment over 1 ton, third-party for repeat lanes you already optimize.
