4PL Solutions &
Product Distribution
What is 4PL?
Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL) services have a role of integrating, collaborating, and overseeing the supply chain by managing the transportation, storage, and distribution of the products from the manufacturers to the end users. 4PL works in a neutral way, taking over the management of the logistics process regardless of the suppliers, transports, and warehouses used.
Advantages of Using 4PL
Considering that traditional outsourcing partnerships tend to focus solely and exclusively on cost reduction and resource transfer, the 4PL agent assumes a fundamental role in the supply chain, working as a link between the supplier and the customer, promoting integration in the supply chain by increasing benefits for both, and reducing costs through the search for greater efficiency and effectiveness in processes.
Moreover, 4PL can add value in the communication and coordination relationships between the various service providers, allowing the manufacturers to pay full attention to their core business.
​
It is in the context of health products that 4PL brings the most impact, as the provision of high-quality care and patient safety heavily rely on the availability of essential medical devices in the healthcare setting.
