Big opportunities lie ahead for today’s third-party logistics providers (3PLs).
These new opportunities (and challenges, too) are a result of evolving market trends such as omnichannel and personalization.
In turn, these market trends drive today’s supply chain trends (think: cloud computing or speed of delivery).
All of these trends are affecting how 3PLs and shippers work and function.
There is a sharper focus for 3PLs and shippers to be able to deliver via omnichannel, inventory flexibility and agility, faster delivery time, and customer-centric services.
The current rising trends mean new opportunities, and it’s time for 3PLs to make some critical changes.
