Background

Background

4POLE was founded in June 2002, after being given the responsibility to be a part of a global partnership, overseeing the supply-chain management of a global company operating in the area of perfume and cosmetics.

4POLE stands for “Fourth Party Operational Europe”, in reference to the 4PL concept.

A 4PL contractor assures the planning and optimization of the different stages of the supply-chain, as well as choosing the logistical contractors.

It owns neither warehouses, nor trucks, and coordinates the four typical elements of the supply chain: producer, logistical contractor, transportation contractor, and end-user.
This financial independence allows it to optimize these services. This activity originates from the development of new information technologies.
