Leveraging the Power of a 4PL

In this "making the case guide" we show how, by providing a high level of logistics services, expertise, and technological prowess, fourth-party logistics providers or 4PLs allow companies to focus on what matters most instead of dealing with supply chain management complexities.

Volatility & Change

Volatility and change are the new normal in logistics and transportation markets and supply chain leaders are constantly challenged with sorting through all the information coming at them.

With all that’s going on, information blind spots are possible and can hamper good decision-making in critical areas, including inventory allocation and labor usage.

And even when the decisions can be made quickly, they’re often based on historical data that’s no longer relevant - an issue that can quickly snowball into even bigger problems.

“Companies across the board are dealing with a lot of stress and strain right now, and all at a time when business is fairly brisk and consumer sentiments remain largely positive… For help, more companies should be looking to 4PLs that can take the weight off of their shoulders and allow them to put more focus on business growth.” - Bob Daymon, head of TM operations at Uber Freight
