logistics outsourcing activities. Since 1995, A&A has been
heavily involved in assisting companies in finding third party
logistics services providers. These activities begin with an
analysis of current supply chain functions. If outsourcing is
determined to be the best path to follow, we can assist clients through
to implementation. Many outsourcing projects involve replacing private fleets, finding
global supply chain managers,
choosing lead logistics services providers and analyzing
distribution networks to find the right value added warehousing 3PL.
