Third-Party Warehousing: Adding Value and Complexity

Did you know that the majority of Third-Party Logistics providers (3PLs) today cite reducing operating expenses as the dominant pressure facing their warehouse operations? In this brief, Aberdeen focuses on insights from 51 3PLs whose offerings include warehousing services and explores how they are coping with current economic conditions, what capabilities they have and which technologies they rely on to ensure efficient warehouse operations and provide value to their clients. This brief covers:

• What makes the best-in-class 3PLs leaders in their respective fields and what capabilities they use to achieve superior results.
• Case Study examples in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
• How other enterprises and 3PLs are upgrading and enhancing their internal processes and capabilities and to add value to their client companies.
• Outlook and goals best-in-class companies have charted for 2010 and beyond—both to improve their service/cost offering and to examine the pros and cons of outsourcing some or all of their warehousing operations.
