Selecting a 3PL is a complex decision-making process. That's because forward-looking supply chain managers weigh qualitative attributes that are difficult to quantify. Traditional companies evaluate 3PLs on their ability to deliver bottom-line savings and operational efficiencies. But in today's market, sophisticated 3PLs provide a menu of value-added services as well as intangible value-adds that relate to implementation, integration of business processes and best-in-class technology.
We see the supply chain as a "glass pipeline" that allows inventory visibility as well as access. Visibility and access turns inventory control back to you, the client, even as distribution and movement continues through our system.
Successful logistics management integrates expertise in transportation management, inventory management and value added services. When best-in-class business models are put in place with an infrastructure of state-of-art technology, you can expect 15 to 30 percent of quantifiable cost savings. |
