Third-party logistics, partnerships and in-house services | log302

While companies that serve local or regional markets may utilize in-house delivery resources, most businesses use third-party logistics (3PL) or engage in partnerships. Some of the larger players in online and omnichannel retail have acquired or built their own networks for B2C delivery and train workers for the future. Manufacturers and intermediary goods producers face a series of different obstacles in their B2B logistics in the domestic market.
