Most 3PLs offer a bundle of integrated supply chain services, including:

A 3PL can scale and customize services to meet customers' needs based on their strategic requirements to move, store, and fulfill products and materials. Companies turn to 3PLs when their supply chain becomes too complex to manage internally. For example, a company may grow through mergers and acquisitions, so a supply chain that was manageable at one time outgrows the in-house capability. The 3PL offers experience gained from working for multiple clients across many different industries. They also offer technology solutions — in some cases, proprietary tools — such as transportation and warehouse management systems beyond what the shipper could afford to invest in independently.

Long-term relationships with carriers can result in better pricing and service during periods when capacity may come at a premium. The economy of scale can lower prices on everything from packing tape to ocean shipping rates.

Most 4PLs offer a bundle of integrated supply chain services, including:

A fourth-party logistics provider, or 4PL, represents a higher level of supply chain management for the customer. The 4PL gives its clients a “control tower” view of their supply chains, overseeing the mix of warehouses, shipping companies, freight forwarders and agents.

The goal is to have the 4PL act as the single interface between all aspects of the supply chain and the client organization. Consulting firm Accenture originally copyrighted the term in the mid-1990s, but it has since fallen into generic use.

In some cases, a 4PL may be established as a joint venture or long-term contract between a primary client and multiple partners, often to manage logistics for specific locations or lines of business. The structure of a 4PL can vary, as there may be a 4PL component within a larger 3PL relationship. A 4PL is a form of business process outsourcing, similar to contracting out human resources or financial functions.

Typically, the 4PL does not own transportation or warehouse assets. Instead, it coordinates those aspects of the supply chain with vendors. The 4PL may coordinate activities of other 3PLs that handle various aspects of the supply chain. The 4PL functions at the integration and optimization level, while a 3PL may be more focused on day-to-day operations. A 4PL also may be known as a Lead Logistics Partner (LLP), according to the CSCMP.

The primary advantage of a 4PL relationship is that it is a strategic relationship focused on providing the highest level of services for the best value, as opposed to a 3PL that may be more transaction focused. A 4PL provides a single point of contact for your supply chain. With a 3PL, there may be some aspects that you still have to manage. The 4PL should take over those processes for you, acting as the intermediary for 3PLs, carriers, warehouse vendors and other participants in your supply chain.

The 4PL relationship simplifies and streamlines the logistics function using technology for greater visibility and imposing operational discipline across many partners and suppliers. The enterprise can focus on its core competencies and rely on the 4PL partner to manage the supply chain function for maximum value. Basically, the 4PL acts as the enterprise would if the supply chain functions were managed in-house.

As companies transition their supply chain model to forward deployment or decentralized distribution, a 4PL partner can step in and manage that complexity. Retailers, in particular, are shifting toward a more nimble model to support e-commerce and omnichannel services. A 4PL can manage the multiplying number of resources that it takes to compete at that level. The days of the million-square-foot super regional DC may be over, as companies opt for shared warehouse space near major customer centers to speed up responsiveness. The 4PL can manage those relationships, as well as optimize the network to use parcel carriers or couriers to support e-commerce, rather than LTL or truckload services.
