Use this essential guide to understand fourth-party (4PL). In today’s fast-paced, interconnected world, mastering supply chain management is crucial. This book demystifies 4PL, offering clear insights into its benefits, strategies and real-world applications.
What’s the difference between 3PL and 4PL? Logistics is evolving, but are you keeping pace? In Chapter 1 of Modern 4PL For Dummies, we explore the shift from 1PL to 4PL and why shippers need a modern approach. Join Arlyn Knox, CMO, and Eric Rempel, Chief Innovation Officer, as they break down the differences between 3PL vs. 4PL and closed vs. open 4PL models and how they impact supply chain flexibility, cost, and orchestration.
Logistics isn’t just about moving freight — it’s about strategic orchestration. In Chapter 2, we dive into how Modern 4PL providers enhance processes, manage complexity, and turn one-off shipments into scalable, optimized operations. Arlyn Knox and Eric Rempel will discuss how Redwood’s four-phase approach — Discovery, Design, Delivery, and Deployment — creates a fine-tuned logistics execution strategy.
The right technology can make or break your supply chain. Chapter 3 of Modern 4PL For Dummies explores how supply chain technologies — everything from TMS, WMS, GTM to AI-powered analytics — create a connected, optimized logistics ecosystem. Join Arlyn Knox and Eric Rempel to learn how a Modern 4PL helps shippers orchestrate their technology and logistics execution for peak performance while unlocking the power of data and analytics.
A fragmented supply chain is a costly supply chain. Chapter 4 of Modern 4PL For Dummies focuses on how an integration platform bridges gaps, connects systems, and ensures real-time visibility. Arlyn Knox and Eric Rempel will discuss why an open 4PL approach gives shippers the flexibility to integrate best-fit technologies instead of conforming to rigid, pre-built solutions.
See a modern 4PL in action! In Chapter 5, Modern 4PL For Dummies highlights a real-world 4PL transformation, showing how a shipper streamlined operations, cut costs, and improved agility.
