4 PL a missed oppotunity

There seems to be a
great deal of scepticism
or misunderstanding of
the 4PL concept in South
Africa.
In our research for
this feature we found
few companies that were
promoting 4PL services as
strongly here as seems to
be the case elsewhere in the
world.
According to the
literature, 4PL services
are helping emerging
economies in places like
China, India and Turkey
become more competitive,
while the industrialised
world is looking to 4PL
to solve its increasingly
complex logistics
challenges.
4PL specialists are also
advising manufacturers
and assemblers where they
should be setting up plants.
