5PL and 6PL: the direction we are building towards
Data-driven orchestration of logistics networks. In development — described here so you know where we are heading.
Where logistics is going
3PL providers run services; 4PL providers manage the whole chain. The next steps — often called 5PL and 6PL — add networks of providers coordinated through shared data, and increasingly through software that plans, books and monitors on its own.
What we are building
- Our own operations platform: every job, rate, document and charge recorded in one system
- Automatic follow-up of every enquiry, job and deadline
- Clear reporting by customer, service, lane and vehicle
- Customer access to their own jobs, documents and statements
- Planning assisted by data rather than guesswork
Where we are today
These are in development. We describe them here so customers know the direction we are taking — not as services on sale today.
