| 摘要： | The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way food industry shippers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers connect with last-mile transportation providers, notes the Customized Logistics & Delivery Association (CLDA). According to spokesmen, many shippers and 3PLs have formed new strategic partnerships in the face of these changes to combat same-day delivery expectations fueled by the "Amazon effect" during lock-down. This was also the conclusion contained in a new whitepaper jointly produced with the Transport Intermediaries Association (TIA) titled "The Age of Amazon: Why 3PLs & Last Mile Delivery Fleets Must Draw Closer."( See Sidebar.) "Final-mile logistics is an important relationship for our members and is a multi-billion-dollar industry that plays an integral role in the supply-chain," says Anne Reinke, president and CEO of TIA. Steve Howard, president of CLDA, further explains how the two associations need to pinpoint trends where 3PLs and last-mile delivery providers can join together to compete against Amazon's market dominance. "The last-mile sector has growing opportunities for 3PLs to broaden their menu of supply chain services by creating partnerships with local fleets operated our members," he adds. |
