“Outsourcing means that a specialised external company is responsible for all of a company’s logistics, i.e. the storage, preparation and transport of goods. Subcontracting logistics means benefiting from a specialised partner’s knowledge, expertise and experience. The right partners can be powerful allies in business prospecting.
