Logistic Outsourcing

Nowadays, 75% of companies trust a 3PL or 4PL provider. The advantages of logistics operations outsourcing are multiple:

  • Reduction of indirect costs: thanks to the outsourcing of logistic activities to third parties, some direct costs are transformed into variable costs (rent or lease of spaces, technology adoption costs, etc)
  • Increased flexibility: both in the case of growing and decreasing volumes
  • Expertise and know-how: by partnering with an external supplier for logistic services, you make sure to be up-to-date with the evolution of logistics. The whole know-how and expertise developed thanks to experiences linked to different product markets are at the complete disposal of customers.
  • Better results: a third-party supplier is an expert; thanks to their skills and the technology they have, they can guarantee the best results.
  • Customs assistance and network: to develop your business in new markets, it is necessary to perform specific analyses about the requirements of export and import countries and to benefit from a local team for support.
  • You can focus on your core business.
