4PL+, Inventory ownership is the new requirement

28.03.2022

How can you add value without impacting the bottom line? In a period of heightened vulnerability, the seamless collaboration of procurement, packaging, logistics, warehousing, and inventory management is viewed as a given. Customers are demanding more, and those who can offer more become the provider of choice.

This is certainly true for logistics firms, where 3PL is now standard, and the focus is on providing additional benefits through increasing integration into customers’ supply chains. The 4PL model can feature integrating multiple 3PLs, technology tools, supplier management, inventory optimization, and more.

However, the race for logistics firms to enhance offerings and satisfy increasing customer demands can come at a price. Building new offerings and diversification can be costly and time-consuming, particularly if this means owning unwanted inventory or providing financing solutions. This is where Falcon can help.

Falcon specialises in providing inventory ownership and balance sheet-efficient financing solutions. We partner with logistics companies to enhance their offerings for end customers without introducing significant changes to operations.

Additional benefits of our solution for end customers include:

  • Consolidated VMI service cheaper than existing OEM arrangements
  • Single supplier touchpoint across transactions without affecting existing commercial relationships
  • Cost savings by leveraging existing supplier commercial terms
  • Extended payment terms on inventory

Our modular solution can apply at any point across the supply chain life cycle from pre-shipment, transit, storage & consignment to outbound, offering maximum flexibility to our partners and their end customers while minimising disruption.
