If you’re scaling e-commerce or B2B fulfilment in Australia, you’ve probably felt the friction of juggling storage, pick/pack, carriers, returns, and systems that don’t talk to each other. MTM Logistics takes a different path: a boutique 3PL model anchored in Archerfield (Brisbane) that trades “one-size-fits-all” for deeply tailored service, tech-forward visibility, and measurable accuracy.


What “Boutique 3PL” Means (and Why It Matters)

Instead of chasing volume at all costs, MTM purposefully limits its client roster to deliver white-glove attention and flexible operating models. For brands, that translates into:

  • Hands-on account management and faster cycle times across receiving, putaway, pick, pack, and dispatch.
  • Operational focus from a Brisbane base, with processes tuned for accuracy and responsiveness rather than generic throughput.
  • Service you can shape—from custom packaging to kitting and gift wrapping—without fighting enterprise red tape.

The outcomes show up in the numbers the company highlights: high delivery accuracy, strong client satisfaction, and always-on support—hallmarks of a well-run, right-sized operation.


Where They Operate (and Why Archerfield Helps)

MTM’s warehouse and operations hub sit in Archerfield, QLD, a logistics-friendly pocket with access to major arterials. That location supports fast intake and efficient distribution across Southeast Queensland and beyond while preserving the “close to the floor” feel of a boutique site.


Core Services at a Glance

1) Pick & Pack (E-commerce Fulfilment)

Barcode-scanned picking, quality gates at pack, same-day processing before cut-off, and branded presentation options. Integrations with major storefronts and a clean, step-by-step fulfilment flow keep orders moving and customers informed.

Why it matters: Tight scan discipline and cartonization logic reduce error rates and rework, improving “first-time right” delivery and CSAT.

2) Warehousing (Secure, Flexible Storage)

Climate-controlled storage, real-time stock visibility, cross-docking, and scalable space—from single pallets to dedicated zones. Ideal for businesses that need to flex with seasonality without committing to long leases.

Why it matters: Inventory accuracy and slotting discipline underpin fast, error-free outbound—and the ability to scale up or down as demand shifts.

3) Freight Management (Road, Air, Sea, Express)

End-to-end transport coordination, carrier selection by lane and promise, real-time tracking, documentation management, and cost optimization.

Why it matters: One team handles the mosaic—quotes, labels, manifests, timelines—so you don’t lose hours reconciling multi-carrier chaos.

4) Distribution & Value-Added Services

Cross-docking for speed, easy drive-up access, plus kitting, custom labels, specialized packaging, and gift wrapping to elevate the unboxing experience and simplify complex orders.

Why it matters: Turn routine shipments into brand moments while streamlining complexity behind the scenes.


Under the hood, MTM runs LogisticsLink, its own inventory and logistics platform built to give clients real-time visibility into stock, orders, and movements. Key capabilities include:

  • Real-time inventory tracking across locations
  • Order management for inbound (Receive) and outbound (Send)
  • Bin-level location control for precise pick paths
  • Automated reporting and change-logs
  • Contact management (customers, suppliers, locations)
  • Freight integrations for booking, labels, manifests, returns, and rate shopping

Recent releases highlight multi-warehouse support and an improved desktop UI, reflecting ongoing product attention rather than set-and-forget software.

Why it matters: When your WMS/portal is first-class, you get fewer stock mysteries, faster reconciliation, and cleaner handoffs between sales, ops, and finance.


Same-Day and Quality Controls

For urgent orders, MTM offers same-day service with a 2 pm cut-off, layered with quality control processes and regular audits. That blend—speed with discipline—keeps promises realistic without sacrificing accuracy.


Carrier Network (Breadth Without the Guesswork)

MTM partners with a broad mix of domestic and international carriers—postal, express, and road freight—so lanes can be matched to parcel profiles, timelines, and constraints (e.g., PO Boxes/lockers via postal networks, express for B2B time-definite, road for multi-carton). The practical benefit is smarter routing without the merchant needing to maintain half a dozen direct accounts.


Who Thrives with MTM

  • Growing e-commerce brands that value presentation, on-time dispatch, and proactive comms.
  • Seasonal or promotion-heavy businesses that need capacity elasticity without warehouse capex.
  • B2B and wholesale senders managing multi-carton consignments, cross-dock moves, or specialized prep (kitting, labeling).
  • Teams that want real-time clarity—inventory that’s truly “system-real” and a portal that mirrors the floor.

What the Day-to-Day Looks Like

  1. Inbound: receipt against Inbound notifications, QC with photo evidence, and immediate system posting.
  2. Putaway: directed tasks to optimal bins for fast travel and clean replenishment.
  3. Picking: scan-verified, wave-aware, and aligned to carrier cut-offs.
  4. Packing & Dispatch: QC at bench, branded materials as needed, label/manifest, photo on dispatch.

Each step is supported by LogisticsLink for real-time status, exception codes, and audit trails—so you can reconcile issues quickly and keep customers informed.


Why Choose MTM Over a Mega-Warehouse

  • Customization at the core: SOPs shaped around your SKUs, not the other way around.
  • Visibility without noise: meaningful dashboards and reports, not data dumps.
  • Accuracy you can bank on: scan gates, QA checks, and tight process control.
  • Human access: direct lines into an on-site team invested in your outcomes.

Getting Started

Curious whether the boutique model fits your growth plan? The typical path is a short consultation, a demo of LogisticsLink, and a scoped custom solution tied to your catalogue, order patterns, and lanes. If you’re Brisbane-based—or simply want an Australian partner that operates like an extension of your team—MTM Logistics is designed for exactly that.
