Understanding 4PL in Supply Chain Management

Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL) represents the highest level of logistics outsourcing. Unlike traditional 3PL models focused on execution, 4PL supply chain management takes strategic ownership of your entire logistics network — from supplier coordination and carrier management to data visibility and forecasting. Interwf functions as your single point of contact for all supply chain activities.

Difference Between 3PL and 4PL in Supply Chain Management

What 3PL Covers

A 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) provider manages specific logistics functions such as transportation, warehousing, and order fulfillment. Their focus is on execution and operational efficiency within defined parts of the supply chain.

What 4PL Covers

A 4PL provider, on the other hand, oversees the entire supply chain from a strategic perspective. This includes managing multiple 3PLs, optimizing network design, integrating data systems, and providing a control tower view for full visibility. Interwf combines 3PL execution strength with 4PL strategy to deliver a complete solution.
