In a business process, logistics is defined as the management of the flow of materials between the point of origin and the point of consumption. Logistics management is a part of the supply chain of an organization. The whole supply chain is standing on the concept of trade-offs between cost and effectiveness. The logistics services should be designed in such a way that it will deliver value to customers in terms of timely delivery and lower cost. The Global Logistics Services (3PL&4PL) market was valued at US$ xx million in the year 2018 and is expected to reach US$ xx million by the year 2023, growing at a CAGR of approximately 2.1%.
A third-party logistics (3PL) provider offer logistics services which include freight forwarding, inventory storage & distribution, shipping or distribution of materials, IT solutions, and others. A 3PL service can be a single provider or it can be an integrated system with a wide bundle of services, which can manage the supply chain of a company. The benefits of using 3PL service are cost saving and increasing focus on the core competency of an organization. However, it is having less control over the own inventory and trust issues which are curtailing the growth of the 3PL services.
A fourth party logistics (4PL) provider is a supply chain integrator which gathers and manages all capabilities, resources, and technology of a company’s supply chain. An experienced and dependable 4PL provider will deliver value with an approach of reengineering of the supply chain to the organization. The 4PL provider signs a centralized contract with the client to carry out all the responsibilities for the performance of the logistics functions of an organization.
