What Is 4PL and How Does It Work?

4PL, or Fourth-Party Logistics, goes beyond traditional logistics outsourcing. Unlike 3PL providers that focus on execution (transportation, warehousing, fulfillment), a 4PL logistics partner like Interwf takes full responsibility for planning, coordination, and optimization across all supply chain functions. We act as a single strategic partner managing your network of 3PLs, carriers, and suppliers.

3PL vs 4PL: Key Differences

The main difference between 3PL and 4PL lies in scope and integration.

  • 3PL providers manage operational logistics tasks such as storage, order fulfillment, and transport.

  • 4PL providers oversee the entire supply chain, integrating systems, optimizing processes, and offering data-driven visibility.

    Interwf combines both models, offering operational efficiency and strategic management under one framework.
