4PL – Fourth Party Logistics – What is Fourth Party Logistics?
4PL – Fourth Party Logistics – To better understand Fourth Party Logistics, first read “3PL - Third Party Logistics.
4PL – Fourth Party Logistics – In addition to the scope of 3PL, Fourth Party Logistics manages almost the entire Supply Chain like an external source, while the business is only involved in the control processes at specified points and monitors the processes in general.
4PL can also cooperate with more than one 3PL in some cases. This is especially essential for multidisciplinary and international companies operating on multiple continents, such as IBM, Nestle, Unilever, Samsung and Amazon.
