In-/outsourcing logistics: Making strategic choices that drive long-term value

October 2025: Logistics is no longer just an operational concern; it is a strategic priority. Rising cost pressures, frequent supply disruptions and ever-increasing customer expectations make the question “make or buy” more urgent than ever. A recent survey held by BCI learned that 60+% of companies are dissatisfied with the lack of proactive attitude of their logistic service provider, while 50+% of companies that have insourced logistics struggle with keeping up with newest technologies.

Should you outsource or keep control in-house? And is it better to build long-term partnerships with one or just a few strategic partners, or contract warehouse by warehouse?

This exclusive executive webinar deck will help you answer these questions and design a logistics operating model that delivers lasting value.

Pieter de Wit, Partner at BCI Global and Carlo Peters, Principal Consultant at BCI Global explored:

• Strategic considerations for in-/ or outsourcing logistics
• Preferred partner strategy vs local optimized strategy

This webinar deck is intended for CSCOs, VPs, Directors, and senior logistics leaders of International Shippers.
