Our Logistics Outsourcing services take customers businesses to the next level.
Logistics as a function has evolved from a majority of companies managing logistics in house to a majority outsourcing to 3PLs and other outsourced logistics providers.
Cost savings and other desired benefits from these traditional outsourcing relationships have now hit a plateau.
Major process and systems innovation is required to deliver the next level of benefit.Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) has evolved as a new phase of logistics outsourcing which works in partnership with the client to bring innovation and cost savings to the next level by working on the client's behalf to sit above multiple logistics services providers and other parties in the logistics value chain.
What is 4PL
Fourth Party Logistics is the evolution of supply chain outsourcing.
The convergence of technology, the rapid acceleration of e-capabilities has heightened the need for an over-arching integrator for supply chain-spanning activities.
Fourth Party Logistics is the shared sourcing of supply chain spanning activity with a client and select teaming partner, under the direction of a 4PL integrator.
In essence, the Fourth Party Logistics provider is a supply chain integrator that assembles and manages the resources, capabilities, and technology of its own organisation with those of complementary service providers to deliver a comprehensive supply chain solution.
