C.H. Robinson, the global leader in third-party logistics (3PL) and fourth-party logistics (4PL) services, with 35 million shipments and $22 billion in freight managed annually, announced the launch of C.H. Robinson Managed Solutions™, the next generation of logistics management. This innovation will solve a growing gap in the market for shippers wanting seamless access to cutting-edge TMS technology, 3PL managed transportation and 4PL services from one provider, at scale, with unmatched configurability, as supply chains grow increasingly complex.
Shippers were previously forced to work with multiple providers to get all these services, failing to address the diverse needs of transportation networks and the increasing demand for greater flexibility as they transition between these services, while also being cost-prohibitive, especially for smaller companies. C.H. Robinson Managed Solutions will solve this problem by unlocking access for companies of all sizes to C.H. Robinson’s full breadth of solutions and end-to-end visibility, through one seamless, AI-enhanced global technology platform. And they benefit from One Robinson providing exceptional service, high value, unmatched expertise and tailored solutions for planning, optimizing and executing transportation needs.
With nearly 30% of shippers saying the most significant threat to their supply chains are geopolitical, economic and physical disruptions, according to a 2024 customer research study, shippers more than ever need the enhanced level of agility, speed and control over their supply chains that C.H. Robinson Managed Solutions delivers.
“Our industry-leading global technology, enhanced by Gen AI automation, combined with our supply chain engineering and procurement expertise, offers a comprehensive suite of capacity and solutions across all transportation modes. This bold new go-to-market strategy through One Robinson ensures optimal ROI for our customers. No other company can match this scale,” said Jordan Kass, C.H. Robinson’s new President of Managed Solutions. “As shippers shift from transactional to strategic support, demanding integrated, transparent, and agile logistics, we proudly meet that need with an unparalleled Robinson offering.”
