3PL is a business process through which companies outsource their logistics and distribution functions to a service provider that specializes in handling logistics such as transportation, warehousing, and freight and forwarding. A service provider that provides these services is called a 3PL provider. Often, 3PL providers go beyond logistics and provide value-added services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door-to-door delivery, and packaging of products. They also provide strategic and operational value to many shippers worldwide. 3PL uses new and innovative SCM to enhance efficiency. The number of M&A in the market has been increasing in recent years. Vendors in this market are opting for the M&A strategy to increase their global presence and expand their product and service portfolios, as well as to achieve economies of scale in various SCM processes.
