No big costs for buying vehicles, warehouses, garages...

No need to hire more labors, so it reduces the manpower in the company and wages when no need for the logisitcs operations ...

Logistics managing isn't easy at all so it's better to be away from it, if it wasn't the core competence of the company

Monetary benefits are:-

1. No capital investment and recurring costs for vehicles, warehouses, IT systems & insurance;

2. your company manpower is not required ;

3. no issues with materials wastage/pilferage;

4. no claims of production losses from customers due to non-delivery of material.

Logistics should be managed as an integrated effort to achieve customer satisfaction at the lowest cost. This customer commitment is the logistics value proposition for which the main elements are Service & Cost Minimization.

In a supply chain, the company needs to concentrate on areas of core competence.

If logistics is not among the core competences, it is beneficial to outsource.
