Outsourcing in logistics refers to the practice of contracting third-party companies to manage certain parts of the supply chain process, such as transportation, warehousing, and inventory management. By outsourcing logistics functions, businesses can focus on core activities while leveraging the expertise, technology, and economies of scale offered by specialized providers. In the beverage industry, outsourcing helps improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance flexibility in the supply chain. From distribution to freight management, outsourcing allows beverage companies to scale operations, improve service quality, and better navigate market complexities, all while minimizing investment in infrastructure and resources.
