Service Overview
The demand for logistics is rapidly increasing due to a surge in home delivery parcels from EC (BtoC) transactions and flea market apps (CtoC), as well as more frequent and smaller batch deliveries for store distribution (BtoB). Meanwhile, not only the logistics challenge of 2024 (cost push) but also a structural labor shortage (reduction in the number of drivers) has been pointed out, which could lead to an inability to meet logistics demands (making it impossible to transport goods).
Breaking through this situation with traditional approaches such as operational streamlining, route optimization, tariff negotiations, and reducing logistics fares through competition among operators is challenging. In response, collaborative and cooperative logistics initiatives (logistics reform through horizontal/vertical collaboration among enterprises) are being promoted within a framework led by government initiatives and public-private partnerships.
Our consultants, with a wealth of achievements and insights, especially in optimizing the supply chain's distribution across production, distribution, and sales layers through collaborative and cooperative logistics, offer comprehensive support from the formulation of growth and competitive strategies for the entire 3PL business, to the planning and implementation of reform ideas and execution plans, ensuring their establishment.
