3PL is the practice of an organization
outsourcing some or all its inventory
management, distribution and order
fulfillment operations to a third party
Transportation of goods, both
domestically and internationally, are
the most common services
outsourced, closely followed by
warehousing.
3PL Charges you on the basis of
• Storage
• Picking
• Packaging
• Postage/shipping

3PL’s have a back office staff that have SOP’s in
place to help the carrier vetting process, work
with carriers on invoice variances through
auditing services, and manage the entire freight
claims process
3PL providers provide large shipping
discounts through economies of scale.
3PL’s are able to achieve much lower
operating costs per load due to their
ability to leverage their entire business
for substantial discounts with trucking
companies.
Third-party logistics companies have contracts
with thousands of carriers and know the lanes
where these partner carriers need freight.
WHY 3PL?
3PL providers are able to reduce the
amount of infrastructure investments in
equipment, software, facilities and
personnel. A single phone call or email
to a logistics coordinator enables them
to select the best value carrier for every
shipment.
Most third-party logistics companies have on-line
tracking to give shippers visibility of their loads.
Many 3PL’s are able to integrate tracking into
shipper IT systems, provide integration into ERP
and WMS, automated notices, or even real-time
delivery notifications by e-mail.

ASSET LIGHT INDUSTRY
7
Often Called Freight Brokers, They have low or
no assets including trucks, warehouses and
distribution centers, vans, etc.
Asset based logistics providers will simply mold
your logistics to fit into their established
infrastructure; an Asset light provider will
design its infrastructure around you.
Provides knowledge and expertise, rather than
Hardware
The value of an asset light 3PL is largely
dependent on the strength of their network.
With strong networks, their ability to negotiate
will allow them to pass on savings to their
customers.

License Regimes Laws Taxes
Many different licensing
regimes apply to 3PLs
depending upon the nature
of the goods
moved. Regulatory bodies
have a vested interest in
ensuring product safety and
enforce these regulations
through
licensure requirements to
protect the safe handling of
certain kinds of
goods. Licensure in this
industry exists at all levels of
government.
The Drug Supply Chain
Security Act (DSCSA),
which was signed into law
on November 27, 2013,
outlines new requirements
to develop and enhance
drug supply chain security
over the next 10 years.
This includes requirements
for prescription drug
wholesale distributors and
third-party logistics
providers involved in the
drug distribution chain.
Retailers that engage a
third-party fulfillment
center may need to
register their businesses
for sales tax in states
where their fulfillment
company has warehouse

LABOR ENVIRONMENT-OVERVIEW
33
Almost 37% of the demand for drivers is to
substitute the aging drivers, and the
average age of a truck driver today is 55
years old or more. Even those now
entering the industry are older than those
entering in the past
Within the U.S., 70% of freight tonnage is
moved on a truck, and without drivers,
that freight is likely to stand still.
The American Trucking Associations
estimates a driver shortage of 35,000 to
40,000 in 2015 and that number jumps to
240,000 in 2020.
Going forward, the demand for supply
chain jobs is likely to increase, however the
supply of labor is expected to shrink.

SOURCES OF INNOVATION—Specific performances
Self-Driving Vehicles Changing Logistics Electric vehicles
UPS is spreading its net wide to make
electric vehicle delivery sustainable
worldwide. 3PL provider has also pre-
ordered 125 electric trucks from Tesla
and Daimler AG's battery-powered light-
duty trucks as part of its alternative fuel
strategy. The Workhorse order adds to its
list of electric vehicle suppliers building
UPS' "fleet of the future”.
According to DHL, a global third-party logistics (3PL)
company, the logistics field will be a leader in adopting
automated vehicles. These autonomous vehicles are not
only limited to trucks that can make line haul deliveries or
take care of the unpredictable last-mile delivery, but include
driver-less forklifts that can increase the number of pallets
and shipments that are already at the warehouse. This
decreases the chances for delays while aiding in loading
trucks sooner. With automated forklifts outputting maximum
efficiency at the warehouse and autonomous trucks being
able to make deliveries without having to adhere to DOT
regulations that restrict the amount of time a driver can be
on the road, the entire process becomes more streamlined.
Ultimately, this will decrease delays, making sure deliveries
are made quickly, and according to DHL’s report, the
automated guided vehicles could lower cost of freight by
40% per kilometer. The overall benefits will have the
potential to lead to higher projected savings and higher
customer satisfaction.

Financial or information based third-party logistics company
provide industry-specific insight and can optimize complex global
supply chains. They also provide internal controls related to freight
auditing, cost accounting, and inventory management.
This is the most common type of 3PL—they store, ship, and
handle returns. Innovative warehouses can help you offer
Amazon Prime-like shipping in two days. If you’re expanding
globally, international warehouse can help build a global supply

Shippers aren’t generally part of a branded retail

what we call ‘shipper-agnostic’: they don’t care
who delivers their goods, as long as they get
them reliably, quickly and cheaply.
Lack of digital culture and training
is the biggest challenge which is

    WHAT IS 3PL? Source:https://www.chrobinson.com/blog/logistics/what-is-a-3pl-and-how-can-they-benefit-your-business/ https://www.shopify.com/enterprise/third-party-logistics-3pl 3PL is the practice of an organization outsourcing some or all its inventory management, distribution and order fulfillment operations to a third party Transportation of goods, both domestically and internationally, are the most common services outsourced, closely followed by warehousing. 3PL Charges you on the basis of • Storage • Picking • Packaging • Postage/shipping Introduction Industry Statistics Sources of Innovation Comparison of 2 firms based on SC strategy Best Practices and Adjacent Industries Key Challenges Summary 4

    5 3PL’s have aback office staff that have SOP’s in place to help the carrier vetting process, work with carriers on invoice variances through auditing services, and manage the entire freight claims process 3PL providers provide large shipping discounts through economies of scale. 3PL’s are able to achieve much lower operating costs per load due to their ability to leverage their entire business for substantial discounts with trucking companies. Third-party logistics companies have contracts with thousands of carriers and know the lanes where these partner carriers need freight. WHY 3PL? 3PL providers are able to reduce the amount of infrastructure investments in equipment, software, facilities and personnel. A single phone call or email to a logistics coordinator enables them to select the best value carrier for every shipment. Most third-party logistics companies have on-line tracking to give shippers visibility of their loads. Many 3PL’s are able to integrate tracking into shipper IT systems, provide integration into ERP and WMS, automated notices, or even real-time delivery notifications by e-mail.

    32 License Regimes LawsTaxes Many different licensing regimes apply to 3PLs depending upon the nature of the goods moved. Regulatory bodies have a vested interest in ensuring product safety and enforce these regulations through licensure requirements to protect the safe handling of certain kinds of goods. Licensure in this industry exists at all levels of government. The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which was signed into law on November 27, 2013, outlines new requirements to develop and enhance drug supply chain security over the next 10 years. This includes requirements for prescription drug wholesale distributors and third-party logistics providers involved in the drug distribution chain. Retailers that engage a third-party fulfillment center may need to register their businesses for sales tax in states where their fulfillment company has warehouse locations.

    LABOR ENVIRONMENT-OVERVIEW 33 Almost 37%of the demand for drivers is to substitute the aging drivers, and the average age of a truck driver today is 55 years old or more. Even those now entering the industry are older than those entering in the past Within the U.S., 70% of freight tonnage is moved on a truck, and without drivers, that freight is likely to stand still. The American Trucking Associations estimates a driver shortage of 35,000 to 40,000 in 2015 and that number jumps to 240,000 in 2020. Going forward, the demand for supply chain jobs is likely to increase, however the supply of labor is expected to shrink. 01 02 03 04 Introduction Industry Statistics Sources of Innovation Comparison of 2 firms based on SC strategy Best Practices and Adjacent Industries Key Challenges Summary

    SOURCES OF INNOVATION—Specificperformances Self-Driving Vehicles Changing Logistics Electric vehicles UPS is spreading its net wide to make electric vehicle delivery sustainable worldwide. 3PL provider has also pre- ordered 125 electric trucks from Tesla and Daimler AG's battery-powered light- duty trucks as part of its alternative fuel strategy. The Workhorse order adds to its list of electric vehicle suppliers building UPS' "fleet of the future”. According to DHL, a global third-party logistics (3PL) company, the logistics field will be a leader in adopting automated vehicles. These autonomous vehicles are not only limited to trucks that can make line haul deliveries or take care of the unpredictable last-mile delivery, but include driver-less forklifts that can increase the number of pallets and shipments that are already at the warehouse. This decreases the chances for delays while aiding in loading trucks sooner. With automated forklifts outputting maximum efficiency at the warehouse and autonomous trucks being able to make deliveries without having to adhere to DOT regulations that restrict the amount of time a driver can be on the road, the entire process becomes more streamlined. Ultimately, this will decrease delays, making sure deliveries are made quickly, and according to DHL’s report, the automated guided vehicles could lower cost of freight by 40% per kilometer. The overall benefits will have the potential to lead to higher projected savings and higher customer satisfaction. 43 https://www.allynintl.com/cs/news-publications/entry/self-driving-vehicles-changing-logistics https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/UPS-orders-950-Workhorse-delivery-vans/527816/ Introduction Industry Statistics Sources of Innovation Comparison of 2 firms based on SC strategy Best Practices and Adjacent Industries Key Challenges Summary

Their customers expect faster time-to-market, reduced defect rates and customized products DIGITAL CULTURE NEW SHOPPING PATTERNS EFFICIENCY & TRANSPARENCY Shippers aren’t generally part of a branded retail experience. Most private end-consumers are what we call ‘shipper-agnostic’: they don’t care who delivers their goods, as long as they get them reliably, quickly and cheaply. Lack of digital culture and training is the biggest challenge which is being faced by the logistics companies.
