The Need for 3PL Logistics Services in Shipping Industry

Evolution of Logistics and the Terms

In the 1970’s, deregulation (the act or process of removing or reducing state regulations) saw the introduction of Intermodal Marketing Companies (IMC’s) many of these companies didn’t own their own trucks or trains (non-asset based transportation firms). IMC’s would buy space off carriers and sell them to clients at rates cheaper than they could negotiate independently. In this context the carriers became 3rd party to the contract and thus the term 3PL was coined.

Contracting freight out (outsourcing) to third parties soon extended to contracting out the warehousing/fulfilment functions. 3PL’s today "A firm that provides multiple logistics services for use by customers. Preferably, these services are integrated, or "bundled" together, by the provider. Among the services 3PLs provide are transportation, warehousing, cross-docking, inventory management, packaging, and freight forwarding."

In 1996 Accenture (formally Anderson Consulting – one of the BIG 5) introduced the term 4PL as "A supply chain integrator that assembles and manages the resources, capabilities, and technology of its own organization with those of complementary service providers to deliver a comprehensive supply chain solution."

The Most Basic Warehousing and Distribution Tip to Follow

In the recent past, a lot has been said about the importance of 4 PL in establishing a better supply chain solution. While it certainly is important for businesses to graduate from 3PL to 4PL, a lot also depends on the type of warehousing and distribution firm that you partner with.

The most basic rule to follow here would be to choose a non-asset based organization. That’s because such organizations have their own governance and they are free to partner with the best suppliers. As a business owner, this is in the best of your interests because you get maximum value for your money.

On the other hand, if you choose to partner with an asset-based organization, here’s what happens. Such firms are mostly multinationals that are bound to their own networks for warehousing and distribution. Obviously, they have a clear mandate to support their own networks over others so as to increase their own profitability. This approach will certainly give an impetus to their business. But we can’t say if it will do the same for your business!

This is one of the reasons why most clients choose Supply Chain Solutions over our competitors. Our core commitment has always been towards contract warehousing. This has held us in good stead even today—over a decade after our inception. We have successfully moved from being a 3PL logistics provider and now offer world-class 4PL services.

As things stand today, we are the largest independently owned specialist contract warehouse operator in New Zealand. To learn more about how we can accentuate your business with our warehousing and distribution capabilities, please visit us at http://portal.supplycs.com.

It’s Time to Upgrade from 3PL Logistics to 4PL Logistics

      The one thing that sets us apart from our contemporaries is the fact that Supply Chain Solutions is the largest independently owned contract warehousing operator in New Zealand. Since we are a non-asset based 4PL logistics organization, we are free to work entirely in our customers’ interest. On the contrary, our competitors are multinationals who are asset-based organizations and are bound to their own networks with a mandate to support them. This may not always be best for you as a client but it is always best for them.

From being a 3PL logistics firm at inception, we have steadily but strategically evolved into a fourth party logistics provider. Given our status as an independently owned and governed status, we have been able to develop and provide a number of ‘first-to-market’ solutions. And, we have done all this while focusing on our core competency of contract warehousing.

That’s precisely why our offerings such as the SCS Supply Chain Portal have streamlined the most complex aspects of warehousing and distribution.
