SCM 3PL Subway Map Europe 2018

This sixth edition of Supply Chain Movement’s 3PL Subway Map Europe features a number of new fourth-party logistics (4PL) service providers who manage the logistics activities for their customers (‘shippers’) without having their own trucks and warehouses. Meanwhile, logistics start-ups and scale-ups are behind a growing number of platforms that enable shippers themselves to efficiently manage their own transport needs online.

Logistics service providers in Europe appear to be struggling to benefit from the current economic growth and e-commerce boom. Increasing complexity and rising customer demands are both driving the need for investment in IT and automation.
