Another period of economic hardship could have positive implications for the third party logistics (3PL) and storage industry according to Michael Potts (pictured), of 3PL specialist Flightstore.

“While it is clear that 2012 is likely to be a challenging year for many businesses, the economic climate could benefit logistics service providers.”

“When companies come under pressure to cut costs, the services offered by the 3PL sector become more attractive. By offering the chance to reduce assets 3PLs that have optimised their own businesses, will be able to put forward a compelling business argument for outsourcing.”
