LOGISTICS ORGANIZATINAL ORIENTATION

2PL

2PL or Second Party Logistics is often the first step in outsourcing logistics tasks including transport.

Companies that offer 2PL services can be considered a logistics operator since, in addition to transport, they are also responsible for the storage of goods.

3PL

3PL or Third Party Logistics consists of outsourcing a large part or even the entire logistics process of a company to an external logistics operator.

The 3PL acts as an intermediary between the client and its customers, organising transport activities and storage facilities.

4PL

With 4PL or Fourth Party Logistics, supply chain management is provided. Think for example of consulting, planning, management, or warehousing.

A 4PL operator does not carry out physical transport or warehouse activities, these are outsourced to a 3PL operator.

A 4PL operator therefore manages the client's entire supply chain and takes the initiative in designing and optimising the supply chain
