Frequently Asked Questions

It’s the practice of transferring supply chain functions – such as warehousing, transport, and distribution to a third-party provider. This approach can reduce costs, improve flexibility, and let businesses focus on core activities while leveraging external expertise and infrastructure.

Outsourcing logistics functions can reduce costs, improve service levels, and increase flexibility. It gives businesses access to specialist expertise, advanced technology, and scalable infrastructure, allowing them to focus on core operations while mitigating risk and enhancing efficiency.

Businesses can outsource warehousing, transportation, distribution, inventory management, order fulfilment, and value-added services such as packaging and returns. Many providers also offer technology integration, reporting, and optimisation to improve efficiency and scalability. Additionally, companies can benefit from enhanced logistics network design, which focuses on aligning their supply chain operations with strategic business objectives. By analysing factors such as location, capacity, and customer demand, businesses can create a more effective distribution strategy. This approach not only reduces costs but also improves service levels, ensuring products reach customers promptly and efficiently.

Common contracts include fixed-term agreements, cost-plus models, and performance-based contracts. These define service scope, pricing, KPIs, and responsibilities, ensuring clarity and accountability between the business and the logistics service provider.

We use detailed cost modelling, benchmark rates and service impact analysis to define the costs of an outsourced operating model. This also considers the wider impact on the business by releasing resources that can include property, labour and systems for use on its core purpose, whether its marketing, servicing or otherwise.

We can manage the full tender process from start to finish, including drafting requirements documentation, coordinating proposals from logistics service providers (LSPs), evaluating bids using structured frameworks, and supporting contracting. Our approach ensures clarity, fairness, and confidence at every stage.
