Outsource management of logistics planning, procurement, and strategy

PLG provides outsource management of the strategic logistics functions for organizations that lack internal logistics resources, or do not wish to take on employees for that purpose. The PLG approach to outsourcing is to assign a team of experienced logistics managers to the Client and to schedule regular on-site working time with Client executives and staff.

Third-party logistics (3PL)

As requested by the Client, PLG can provide not only the strategic management function, but also become the service provider as well. This creates a one-stop, single logistics solution for Clients.
