Feel free to
pass this research on to colleagues, peers or customers who may be
interested. Hundreds of 3PL management, senior supply chain and
logistics executives, and carriers were surveyed for the report to
reveal where the growth areas and new opportunities are in the market.



Key sections
include:


  • Measures for combating
    the recession, harnessing the opportunities of the recovery, and being
    aware of the risk of future economic bubbles
  • Regions, verticals and
    services with the greatest opportunities
  • Methods for insulating
    the business from risk, and dealing with fluctuating volumes and rates
  • Key reasons why some
    3PL-customer relationships are failing, while others are using the
    revival as a platform for innovation, growth and profit
  • Key SCM challenges
    including the economy, cost control, supply chain forecasting, managing
    freight rates & fuel prices, globalizing the supply chain, dealing
    with demand fluctuations & capacity shortages, improving visibility
    and managing relationships
