Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL) Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Companies generally adopt a cost-plus or a gain-share model pricing while engaging with 4PL service providers. The cost-plus model is a pricing strategy where the 4PL service provider charges the client for the actual costs incurred in managing the logistics operations, along with an additional markup or fee. On the other hand, the gain-sharing model is a collaborative pricing approach where the 4PL and the client share the benefits or savings achieved through improved supply chain performance or cost reductions. The choice between the models depends on specific requirements and preferences.

In the European region, in 2022, road transportation prices have increased by 10 - 15% due to soaring fuel costs, high inflation, the global supply chain crisis, and a tight supply of goods. Since 2021, fuel prices have increased significantly in Germany, Italy, the U.K., and France which have in turn impacted transportation and 4PL service costs. For instance, in Germany, diesel prices in Q3 2021 increased by 38% compared to 2020. Similarly, during the same period, diesel prices in France, Italy, and the U.K. increased by 23.5%, 20.6%, and 26.6% respectively. Road transport prices are also getting impacted by truck shortages and labor shortages amid very high demand for trucking services. For instance, in Spain, there is a shortage of 10,000 and 15,000 professional drivers in Spain. In France, there is a shortage of between 40,000 - 50,000 drivers and Germany lacks 65,000 drivers.
