[推荐]4PL: 4th Party Logistics

The term "fourth-party logistics provider" is a trademarked term owned by Accenture (Formerly know as Andersen Consulting. 4PL was stated in 1998 and company name changed in 2001). It refers to the evolution in logistics from suppliers focused on warehousing and transportation (third-party logistics providers) to suppliers offering a more integrated solution. Among other services, fourth-party logistics providers include supply chain management and solutions, change management capabilities, and value added services in their offering. These companies are basically third-party logistics providers that either add these capabilities to their services or form alliances to provide the services.

Fourth Party Logistics: supply chain co-ordination and management by an entity that does not supply (operate) underlying logistical services. '4PL' is a trademark of management consultants, Accenture.
