Lockwood is Technology Driven
As the supply chain becomes exponentially more complicated, the importance of freight visibility increases due to its ability to provide real-time insight into the location and status of freight.
Lockwood is not a common 3PL freight broker
While Lockwood is a 3PL or third-party logistics company, which generally refers to outsourcing logistics and transportation functions to another company. Lockwood incorporates 4PL, or fourth-party logistics, and builds on this concept by adding additional management and coordination services. 4PL providers typically act as logistics integrators, working with multiple carriers and service providers to create a custom solution for their clients. One of the key advantages of 4PL is that it can help to increase efficiency and reduce costs by consolidating multiple logistics providers into one. In addition, 4PL providers often have extensive experience and expertise in logistics management, which can help businesses to achieve their desired outcomes.
