Business transfers in logistics
Outsourcing has played an increasingly important role in recent years. In the logistics sector in particular, there is a trend towards outsourcing transportation activities. The focus of many manufacturers on their core competencies and constantly growing cost pressure is turning out to be a new, exciting field of activity for the logistics service provider sector to take on logistics activities.
Logistics outsourcing
If core and/or additional logistics services are permanently transferred from a company to a third party, this is referred to as logistics outsourcing. The decision to outsource activities or terminate the contract with an existing logistics service provider can lead to a transfer of business.
The topic of transfer of operations is highly complex, based on many individual sub-areas. However, a structured transfer of operations holds great potential as a basis for long-term cooperation with the new logistics service provider.
As part of various projects, LOGSOL GmbH has been able to provide coordination and support for business transfers. It is crucial to be a link between the seller, the buyer and the customer. Particularly in the period before and after the new logistics service provider joins the company, intensive project support is crucial for a successful transfer of operations.
LOSGOL Guide for business transfers
A guide to business transfers developed by LOGSOL currently covers around 200 different topics. The guide helps to reduce the complexity of business transfers. In addition to the legal aspects relating to §613a of the German Civil Code (BGB), there are key tasks that need to be planned, coordinated or monitored. An essential part of the task is the planning of interfaces that arise in the context of outsourcing or a change of service provider. Comprehensive support from the start of the tendering process through to the transfer of operations can create new opportunities for further cooperation with the logistics service provider and minimize potential risks.
