Redwood Logistics Unveils "Modern 4PL For Dummies" Book

Redwood Logistics, one of North America's leading fourth-party logistics (4PL) providers, has officially unveiled its new book titled "Modern 4PL For Dummies, Redwood Logistics Special Edition," written by Eric Rempel. The book clearly and practically explains the differences between 3PL and 4PL, the distinction between modern open 4PL and traditional closed 4PL, and why it has become an increasingly vital strategy in today's logistics environment.


In Gartner's 2024 Market Guide for 4PLs report, Redwood was recognized as a representative vendor for the second consecutive time, with the 4PL market projected to reach $104.54 billion by 2030. The "Modern 4PL For Dummies" book addresses fundamental questions about how to design a successful 4PL strategy that keeps pace with this rapidly expanding sector.


Across six chapters, the book guides readers through the fundamentals and practical aspects of fourth-party logistics:

  • Explanation of 1PL and 2PL, 3PL and 4PL concepts

  • Logistics Implementation: Ad hoc transportation, managed transportation, warehousing and distribution services, cross-border transportation, international transportation

  • Technology and Data: Transportation Management Software (TMS), Warehouse Management Software (WMS), Global Trade Management (GTM) and more

  • Modern 4PL: Flexible, Open, Reliable Consultant Role

  • Real-World 4PL Example

  • Ten Frequently Asked Questions About 4PL: What is 4PL? How does it differ from 3PL? What services does it provide?


Eric Rempel, the book's author, stated, "I wrote Modern 4PL for Dummies to simplify what can seem like a complex subject. At Redwood, we have guided businesses on logistics implementation and supply chain technology for over 20 years. This book clarifies the difference between 3PL and 4PL, shares real-world experiences, and demonstrates how companies can transform their supply chains with a modern, open 4PL strategy."


The book addresses a broad readership, from those taking their first steps into the 4PL field to those seeking to enhance their existing supply chain strategies. Redwood's open ecosystem approach and supply chain connectivity supported by Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) help companies make their logistics processes more efficient and flexible.


Redwood is planning various events to promote the book. A preview event will be held on February 24, 2025, via LinkedIn Live with author Eric Rempel in attendance. Additionally, free copies of the book will be distributed at JOC TPM (March 2-5, 2025), Redwood's Customer Advisory Board meeting, Cross-Border Logistics Council and Women in Logistics Event (April 9-11, 2025), and the Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference (May 5-7, 2025).
