4PL
What is 4PL?
4PL stands for Fourth-Party Logistics and refers to a logistics model in which a single provider manages the entire supply chain on behalf of a company – including warehousing, transport, technology, and coordination of other logistics partners (like 3PLs and carriers).
4PL in eCommerce
In eCommerce, 4PL providers act as logistics orchestrators. They offer brands complete visibility, data-driven decision-making, and centralized management of multiple warehouses and carriers. everstox operates as a tech-driven 4PL solution – offering fulfillment infrastructure, software integration, and performance optimization across Europe, the UK, and the US.
Example for 4PL
A fast-growing D2C brand expands across Europe. everstox handles warehouse selection, onboarding, carrier management, order routing, and reporting – so the brand can scale logistics without building its own logistics network.
