3PLs conspicuous by absence

It is reported that while the many manufacturers and retailers are signing up for Scala's Fresh Connection competition, third party logistics companies are conspicuous by their absence. So far, Unipart has been the only logistics provider to recognise the value of Scala's Fresh Connection and step up to the challenge.

John Perry is keen to invite 3PLs to discover the benefits of Scala's Fresh Connection. "The reason the major retailers and manufacturers are participating is to enhance staff capabilities in an exciting and challenging environment. I believe 3PLs are missing out.

"It's a great way of improving how they operate within the supply chain and developing a better understanding of the needs of their clients and customers."
