Intelligent Solutions in the Supply Chains: Challenges for 3PL Providers

In the last two decades, third-party logistics providers (hereinafter: 3PL) represent one of the most important factors in supply chains and international trade. 3PL providers play an important role in creating a competitive advantage for retailers and manufacturers. 3PL functions are transportation, warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and information systems within which 3PLs have various activities (Sink et al., 1996 in Pavlić et al., 2016). These functions and activities are crucial for the smooth functioning of supply-chain networks. However, technological advancements and market uncertainties force 3PL providers and supply chains to increase their flexibility and efficiency.
