| Introduction |
Indian businesses have become very competitive, quick, efficient, and flexible in order to stay ahead of competitors. An efficient logistics system is one way to achieve this advantage, and companies across industries have realized that a good logistics system brings not only substantial savings, but can also drive a company to the top slot.
Manufacturing companies outsource their logistics requirements to third party logistics (3PL) service providers who look into supply chain activities like compilation of order and dispatch planning, physical transportation, in-transit monitoring, confirmation of deliveries, payment to transporters and providing Management Information Systems (MIS) to the client.
