DHL provides all freight transportation services for five years from January, 2020 in its 40,000 sq.mt. exhibition center.

Fifth-party logistics companies focusing on customizing the supply chain according to need of customer, improving supply chain efficiency, and increasing transparency in supply chain operations. However, the problem with this scenario is that traditional supply chain management (SCM) methods cannot identify potential supplies for a particular user. In the current scenario, enterprises need well-developed infrastructure, out-of-the-box complementary services, and need to build an integrated supply chain that relies on logistics as a network technology, which works as a bridge between logistics company and consumers. 

SCM requires consistent optimization. Products need to move efficiently along the supply chain, from parts manufacturers to distribution centers, various retailers, and end customers. To achieve optimal efficiency, it is important to use the right tools, software, and the best supply chain model. Therefore, the fifth-party logistics model was developed to help e-commerce companies find a supply chain management approach that effectively addresses the increasing pressures they face. In addition, fifth party logistics enhances a company’s revenue by reducing the overall cost of network participants. This can be implemented depending on new interaction models in current digital environment through system integration and using advanced supply chain management solution . Thus, all these factors notably contribute toward the growth of the overall market.

Increase in penetration of Internet of Things (IoT) in the logistics sector enables freight companies and consumers to directly access the company network via the internet. The logistics infrastructure is constantly upgraded to meet the needs. Moreover, increase in use of AI, machine learning, radiofrequency identification (RFID), and Bluetooth coupled with other newly introduced technologies, such as drone delivery and driverless vehicles, is being witnessed in logistics services. These technological advancements act as the catalyst to the growth of the fifth-party logistics market. In addition, some of the logistics companies across the world are increasing their spending and using technologically advanced systems for logistics enhancement, which are further expected to propel the growth of the logistics market. For instance, SimpliRoute, an urban logistics solution raised the $3 million funding to improve its AI-powered logistics platform. The new funding will help the start-up to grow its logistics intelligence platform and expand to other countries besides Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay.
