4PL - Fourth Party Logistics Provider

A 4PL is an independent integrator who will assemble the resources, capabilities and technology of its own organisation to design, build and run comprehensive supply chain solutions for clients.

In contrast to traditional 3PL providers, a 4PL will provide a range of value added services with a strong emphasis on business process analysis re-engineering and technology implementation. This will achieve major optimisation of product configuration, assembly and packaging as well restructuring the core transport and shipping activities. It offers SMEs the opportunity to access national carriers at reduced rates.

4PL is ideal for businesses that need to challenge operational change

5PL - Fifth Party Logistics Provider

A 5PL is a logistics service provider who plans, organises and implements logistics solutions on behalf of other parties.

The central ethos of 5PL is its commitment to collaboration and to obtaining a higher degree of resource utilisation in order to achieve savings and open up opportunities and routes to market to secure the best possible solution
This is especially so for SMEs, who are able to reap higher profitability from selling into premium and export markets whilst retaining their core business with multiples and mainstream wholesalers.
Many business do operate at high levels of efficiency but this can be improved by a 5PL looking at dovetailing with other flows to drive further costs from the system and improve business opportunities
