“…In so doing, they can outsource activities linked to software and hardware management without losing focus on their own competencies. Different applications and IT systems interact on the cloud and can be accessed via web browsers (or apps) without installing any software components locally [91]. In the logistics service industry, the first cloud computing solutions-including the Logistics Mall [92] developed by the Fraunhofer Institute of Material Flow and Logistics (Germany)-are being realized.…”

“…In the logistics service industry, the first cloud computing solutions-including the Logistics Mall [92] developed by the Fraunhofer Institute of Material Flow and Logistics (Germany)-are being realized. The concept of the Logistics Mall is to combine small, individual logistics IT services from different service providers into superior, customized services that are used by logisticians or other customers [91]. In addition to being a marketplace for logistics IT services and processes, the mall has the future aim of integrating the business-process management of physical services such as transportation or warehousing [91].…”

For 3PL, this would potentially allow parties to gain access to logistics cloud platforms by developing compatible service modules.…”

This paper looks at the impact of digitalization on third-party logistics (3PL) business models. An eclectic framework for the analysis of digital disruptions in service industries is elaborated by linking Porter's five forces to insights from research on digitalization and innovation. Applying this framework to the business field of 3PL reveals that logistics service providers face significant digital hardship from new technologies such as autonomous vehicles and 3D printing as well as from platform-based business models and the sharing economy. We see the following changes in the competitive arena: First, 3PLs focusing on standard services may lose significant market share in the near future. Second, management-related 3PL activities seem to be increasingly offered by new external competitors, which may downgrade 3PLs to simple forwarders. Third, digitalization enables the forward or backward integration of 3PL customers and suppliers when they establish their own services. In addition to its threats, the opportunities of digitalization for 3PLs are discussed. These include the customization of standardized logistics services, the provision of cloud logistics services, platform-based asset and logistics infrastructure sharing, the "physical internet" as a future transportation system and the adoption and integration of 3D printing into existing 3PL business models.

“…The strategy's concepts are often varied and depend on the context in which the strategy is implemented (Gajšek et al, 2012;Grzybowska and Gajšek, 2016). A common feature in most of the research is a focus either on a specific logistics service, such as transportation (Choi, 2020;Robu et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2017), or on a combination of various logistics services (Daniluk and Holtkamp, 2015). However, interdependence is an essential feature of a platform-based business (Cenamor et al, 2013), with the success of such businesses depending not only on their core products/services but also on complementary ones.…”

“…The Fraunhofer Institutes for Material Flow and Logistics (IML) and for Software and System Technology (ISST) created in 2012 the Logistics Mall which is a kind of online application supermarket, these new platforms were described in (Daniluk and Holtkamp, 2014) and . The principle of the Logistics Mall is to combine several logistics applications, such as warehouse management applications with inventory applications connected at customs for the needs of a particular client company, each of these applications is offered by a provider logistics application and hosted in the logistics Centre.…”

In any increasing competitive environment and even in companies; we must adopt a good logistic chain management policy which is the main objective to increase the overall gain by maximizing profits and minimizing costs, including manufacturing costs such as: transaction, transport, storage, etc. In this paper, we propose a cloud platform of this chain logistic for decision support; in fact, this decision must be made to adopt new strategy for cost optimization, besides, the decision-maker must have knowledge on the consequences of this new strategy. Our proposed cloud computing platform has a multilayer structure; this later is contained from a set of web services to provide a link between applications using different technologies; to enable sending; and receiving data through protocols, which should be understandable by everyone. The chain logistic is a process-oriented business; it’s used to evaluate logistics process costs, to propose optimal solutions and to evaluate these solutions before their application. As a scenario, we have formulated the problem for the delivery process, and we have proposed a modified Bin-packing algorithm to improve vehicles loading.
