Potential Business Impact
- The percentage of firms using 3PL services in Western Europe is now 77% and is still increasing. However, only 40% of outsourced logistics contracts are renewed!
- A great deal of time is wasted short-listing the wrong outsourcing companies or by providing these companies with inaccurate or incomplete information
- Cost control can be difficult - charges tend to increase annually in line with inflation and other indices without regard to operational efficiencies and economies of scale
- By understanding both sides of the sourcing process (from both the client and 3PL‘s perspective) it is possible to identify, and thus avoid, the likely pitfalls.
