Overview: From the executive summary: ‘Logistics service providers expand into the Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PLs) sector for business reasons-to grow revenues and especially to grow profits. Being a logistics service provider, whether a freight forwarder, warehouse, carrier, or other type of provider means an ongoing effort to maintain and gain customers in a very competitive environment. These firms understand price pressures; they understand deflation. They are providing a commodity service where price is the initial and a key delineator versus the competition. That is a difficult business environment with constant price pressures.’ The paper examines the 3PL environment.
