Shippers are the suppliers and manufacturers located at the base of the chain. They can organize the transport and logistics activities inside the companies or they can outsource these activities to the specialized transport or logistics companies. The increasing complexity of distribution in many sectors has accentuated the role of logistics service providers. They plan, coordinate and manage activities and, in many cases, are involved in transport activities. Their role is to develop and implement efficient logistics concepts. Logistics service providers are generally very innovative in the application of information and communication technologies to better respond to continuous market changes due to competition and changes in consumer behavior.
