The fourth party logistics concept:
The concept of the fourth party logistics was first put forward by an international consulting company, and its main definition is "a supply chain integrator". This kind of integrator can not only deploy and manage the organization itself, but also provide customers with logistics value-added and complementary services, and provide customers with comprehensive supply chain solutions by using resources, capabilities and technologies. In addition, the fourth-party logistics can also be understood as an integrator who further integrates logistics resources such as management and technology on the basis of third-party logistics to provide users with comprehensive supply chain logistics solutions.
The difference between 3PL and 4PL:
In general, it is impossible for third-party logistics providers to provide customers with logistics services in the whole supply chain, such as enterprise information integration, customer dynamic event management, customer collaborative integrated management and so on.
The fourth party logistics focuses on reducing the operating cost of enterprises by optimizing and integrating the whole supply chain, while 3PL focuses on reducing the investment and cost of enterprises by externalizing logistics operations and logistics assets.
The fourth party logistics provides a complete set of supply chain solutions, which integrates the capabilities of management consulting and third party logistics service providers. More importantly, only through the joint efforts of Qixin consulting company, information technology company and logistics company can we design and implement an unprecedented unified technical solution that maximizes customer value. 4PL makes full use of the capabilities of many service providers, including third-party logistics, information technology providers, contract logistics providers, call centers, telecom value-added service providers, etc., plus the capabilities of customers and 4PL itself. In a word, 4PL meets the extensive and complex needs of today's enterprises by providing all-round supply chain solutions. This scheme pays attention to all aspects of supply chain management, which not only provides technical solutions for continuous updating and optimization, but also meets the unique needs of customers. ?
