Frost & Sullivan analysed the information collected from participants in different industry
sectors that took part in this research study and established that on average, about 45 per cent of
the companies are either actively involved in a fourth party logistics (4PL) engagement or are
evaluating options with some Lead Logistics Providers (LLPs) for certain business units or
geographic areas. When enquired of the preferred type of partners in a 4PL engagement, almost 75 per
cent of respondents preferred to involve a preferred third party logistics (3PL) service provider.
The automotive and FMCG sectors seem to be the most proactive when it comes to trying out the 4PL
engagement. In fact, a number of companies in these sectors are evaluating a 4PL relationship with
one of their preferred third party suppliers. |
