Investments in logistics infrastructure, supply chain optimization and expanded infill warehousing facilities have enabled retailers and supermarket chains to expand their store footprints and experiment with new shopping channels.

Nearly 90% of domestic Fortune 500 companies use third-party logistics providers (3PLs) for logistics and supply chain functions, according to a new report by Armstrong & Associates, West Allis, Mich.

The partnership between a business and their 3PL impacts the supply chain in many ways.

Third-party logistics providers are becoming more responsive, agile and customer-centric, according to the Cold Chain Customer Research Report, released by the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), Arlington, Va.

A large part of keeping foods refrigerated or frozen while in transit is the technology that monitors temperature.

Third-party logistics provider ITS Logistics, Reno, Nev., announced plans to consolidate most of its business operations this summer into a 630,000-square-foot campus at 555 Vista Blvd. in Sparks, Nev.

Temperature-controlled shipping is a furiously complicated process, and new regulations are reducing an already strained capacity.

Lineage Logistics, a Colton, Calif.-based warehousing and logistics company sponsored by Bay Grove Capital LLC, San Francisco, acquired Columbia Colstor, a third-party warehousing and logistics company headquartered in Moses Lake, Wash.
