Shippers managing fragmented 3PL networks struggle to consolidate logistics operations without losing service quality or control

Shippers are caught between wanting better service from their logistics providers and the operational complexity of managing multiple 3PLs simultaneously. Half of shippers are actively consolidating their 3PL relationships, but they lack visibility and coordination tools to do so without disrupting supply chains or sacrificing the specialized capabilities different providers offer. Current 3PLs don't provide the integrated oversight and orchestration that would let shippers reduce vendor count while maintaining performance.
