Description

Definition and Scope:

Contract logistics, also known as third-party logistics (3PL), refers to the outsourcing of logistics and supply chain management functions to a specialized service provider. This includes a comprehensive range of services such as transportation management, warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, packaging, freight forwarding, and value-added services. Companies that use contract logistics benefit from professional expertise, scalable resources, and technology-driven solutions, allowing them to optimize supply chains, reduce operational costs, and focus on their core business operations. Unlike traditional logistics, which mainly involves moving goods from point A to point B, contract logistics encompasses the end-to-end management of the supply chain, integrating planning, execution, and monitoring across multiple stages and geographies.
