3PL

The growth in dynamism and complexity of markets is forcing more and more companies to concentrate on their core business and to outsource logistics, entrusting this area to specialised firms. This reduces management costs, boosts competitivity and answers customer needs with increased flexibility and promptness.

This can only be achieved with consolidated information integration between the client’s system and 3PL.

Supply Chain Management currently requires collaboration models based on increasingly interconnected information exchange systems. Even for 3PL, the information technology factor is becoming more and more important in order to provide differentiation, both in terms of content and the required time-to-market. Within the different levels of service there is also a tendency to include specific KPIs linked to information communication.
