Beyond Distribution: The New Role of 3PL
In recent years, the role of third-party logistics (3PL) providers has changed, as have manufacturer considerations when it comes to choosing a partner for 3PL services. Larger issues like the impact of REMS and unpredictable economic conditions raise expectations around the breadth and quality of services demanded by 3PL providers. Tracy Franklin, Senior Director of Client Services for ICS, and Rusty Robertson, Senior Manager for Program Management of ICS, visit "In the Know" to address the changing role of 3PL providers-and how trends like technological advancement continue to influence the market.
