A Lead Logistics Provider (LLP) is defined as a logistics service provider that takes over the organization of all or at least the most important logistics processes for its customers. In doing so, the LLP plays the most important role for the company and is strongly integrated into its logistics processes.
Brief description
Logistics service providers become a Lead Logistics Provider for a company if they take over the company's essential tasks and become strategic partners. They carry out not only transportation, transshipment or warehousing services, but also:
creation, application and organization of supply chains
Transport planning and optimization and warehouse planning
terms of delivery
Integration of internal communication technologies
Further customer-specific services (e.g., customs duties, packaging management, etc.).
In this way, the LLP goes from being a service provider to a long-term partner of the company and is the first point of contact for logistics questions and problem issues.
