A majority of Fortune 500 organizations are opting for third-party logistics (3PL) services to streamline their supply chain operations and expand their presence across geographies. Additionally, there is a pressing need for rapid delivery channels for an ever-expanding distribution network of consumers. The hypercompetitive markets today demand a phenomenal level of expertise, reliability, and flexibility to manage the supply chain with a competitive edge. From basic to the most complex warehouse environments, a purpose-built lifecycle management solution that monitors and manages people, processes and technologies, is the need of the hour.
