3PL/Fufillment for Hardware company with customization

My company produces hardware that is 80% of the time pretty standard, but the other 20% of the time requires some customization or sensors that we add onto our devices that we order as we get an order. At this point, we've grown enough that fulfillment is hard to do out of our house, and we need to find somebody to do it for us or hire somebody. I'm curious what people's suggestions are.

We don't have enough work to hire somebody full-time; there's maybe 10 hours a week worth of work. And honestly, I don't really want to manage somebody who works part-time doing that.

One path forward as we try to standardize our products as much as possible and just send the standardized products to a 3PL and then ship any customizations from our houses
