4pl company stands for “fourth-party logistics” and refers to a logistics management service that oversees and manages the entire supply chain for a company. Unlike traditional 3PL providers who handle transportation, warehousing, and distribution, a 4PL acts as a strategic partner that oversees the entire process, often integrating multiple 3PL services and technologies. 4PL companies offer end-to-end solutions, helping businesses optimize logistics, reduce costs, and improve efficiency through technology and expert management.
