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!
