OUTSOURCING LOGISTICS

Outsourcing Logistic_edited.jpg

It is estimated that 80% of companies globally outsource some of their logistics operations. But for some organizations with complex logistic systems (eg. distribution and retail), especially in developing markets, the outsourcing journey turns quickly into disgrace and a substantial amount of companies remain unsatisfied about the outsourcing results. Main reasons are:

  • The selected partner does not have the right capabilities 


  • Poor definition of scope, roles & responsibilities, expectations 


  • The poorly defined collaborative framework between the company and the LSP
