4PL

When companies want more from their outsourcing partner than the traditional 3rd party relationship, they find only a limited number of players in the market place that can offer a total management solution.

Businesses turn to Wincanton to help them solve a number of common issues:

• Lack of synergy between parts of the supply chain, or between supply chain partners
• Extending the supply chain into new geographies
• Achieving greater supply chain visibility
• Implementing best practice
• Pressure for step changes in performance
• Managing markets distant from the manufacturing centre
• Creating partnerships that reflect streamlining of internal organisations

Wincanton has the European scale, local presence, systems know-how and management expertise to offer its customers a 4PL-type or lead logistics partner relationship that makes a genuine one-stop solution possible.

Our approach consists of:

• Understanding each project's individual characteristics
• Willingness to challenge the status quo
• Bringing together multi-country, multi-disciplinary teams to project manage implementations
• Dedicated account management processes to meet 4PL challenges
• Providing a platform for integrating management information
• Access to best in class implementation and project management skills
• Achieving quality and KPI's through strong operational management
• Demonstrating continuous improvement
