3PLs in China Share Their Insights on the Logistics Market

Eyefortransport's Survey on "3pl's Views of the Logistics Landscape in China"

Gaining insight into your 3PL's view of China's logistics market can help you determine whether they are currently providing optimal service for your company. Is your 3PL truly working to optimize your logistics network, or theirs? What are your 3PL's actual capabilties in China and how much of what they claim to do is actually outsourced to local companies? Do you know the critical factors which can affect your product flows from China to the end customer in North America or Europe? What are the appropriate performance metrics and service quality measurements for 3PLs in China?

The link below takes you to the Eyefortransport website where you can fill out a short form and download their survey results on 3PLs views of the logistics market in China. An interesting result of the survey shows that government regulations, cargo secruity, and port capacity are key challenges faced by 3PLs in China. What are the most recent government regulations in China which will affect your supply chain? Does your 3PL comply with container security initatives? Will developments at the new Shanghai deep water port affect product flows from China to the US or Europe?
