By: Greg Dugan, Bridge Logistics By Using Outsourcing Our troubled economy is top-of-mind for everyone these days. "Business as usual" has been forever redefined. The economy has caused many businesses to re-examine their operations and refocus their resources. No operation inside a company stands as a better example of this than the warehousing and logistics function. Certainly, companies have internal functions such as accounting, marketing, MIS, etc., but one costly and hard to staff function may be logistics. Rather than invest in warehouses and warehousemen, trucks and truck drivers, etc., the company may find logistics to be one of the easiest competencies to outsource, and one of the most financially attractive. The company may choose to partner with a company like Bridge Logistics to re-focus on their core competencies. It's estimated that over 80% of companies globally now outsource some or all of their logistics activities.
