This screencast provides a short overview of the results and findings from the 15th annual Third-Party Logistics Study, sponsored by Capgemini, Georgia Tech and Panalpina. Discovering and exploring 3PL trends, issues and opportunities is the overall objective of the study. A web-based survey, desk research, focus interviews and workshops provide a well-rounded, diverse sampling of attitudes, ideas and results experienced by 3PL users, non-users and 3PL providers. Included in the 2010 study are special topic reports on total landed cost, life sciences and fast-moving consumer goods.

Editor's Notes
Need to highlight both User and Provider survey Mention focus on State-of-the-Market, and also on special topics that change on a yearly basis. Study concludes with Strategic Assessment of 3PL-customer relationships
Highlight geographic spread of respondents (shippers and 3PL providers), and principal industries from which 3PL shippers are involved.
Total landed cost is the sum of all costs associated with making and delivering products to the point where they produce revenue -- usually your customer's door. Total delivery cost, landed cost, cradle to grave. Includes both obvious and hidden costs.
First, need to mention this is only the second year that we have surveyed 3PL providers. Principal reason for doing this is to get perspectives from 3PL providers on the very same topics and issues that include in the shipper version of the survey. This is the array of services offered by 3PLs that were included in the survey. To some extent these percentages parallel those from the shipper results, but there are notable exceptions in that many 3PL providers typically offer some services that are only used by small percentages of shippers (e.g., customer service; supply chain consultancy services; IT services; etc.). Some of this may be because there are differences between what shippers and 3PL think of each type of service. Maybe a good example is “customer service” which may differ in perspective between shippers and 3PLs.
