Logistics & Transportation Outsourcing Solutions
Logistics & Transportation Outsourcing – Why it PAYS!
Introduction
Manufacturing, distribution and retailing businesses who outsource save time and money. Logistics transportation outsourcing to a third party adds to the bottom line for both the retailer and manufacturer through well-managed inventory and supply chain solutions.
Logistics outsourcing minimises the need for expensive real estate to store inventory. 3PLs offer expertise that manufacturers, distributors and shippers can tap into, and this allows users to achieve supply chain solutions with their customers that minimize total delivered costs.
The efficiencies generated by outsourcing transportation logistics has made it extremely popular. Recent research indicates that 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies outsource at least one function in their supply chain management.
This popularity results from the many benefits gained by partnering with a 3PL provider, which can include:
- Reduced total delivery costs for your customers.
- Customer service improvements through shorter shipping times
- Reduced inventory costs through lean management
- Cost benefits through volume shipping rates
- Improved focus on your core competencies
- Achive a more scaleable logistics operation and cost model
- Increased variety of technology and service
- Benefit from increased expertise in supply chain security
Logistics transportation outsourcing is a complex discipline, which must provide an optimised business function within the extended supply chain. Failure to do so can result in excess inventories, variability in supply, cost increases and poor customer service. However, synchronization requires well planned logistics capabilities, with a streamlined infrastructure to offer lower costs and increased levels of service.
