What is 3 PL, 4 PL and 5 PL businesses? Why are they called so?

A third-party logistics provider (abbreviated 3PL) is a firm that provides outsourced or

'third party' logistics services to companies for part or sometimes all of their supply chain
management function. Fourth party logistics is an integrator that assembles the resources,
capabilities, and technology of its own organization and other organizations to design
build and run comprehensive supply chain solutions. Since the advent of the 4PL service,
the international logistics industry has been researching on the development of the fifth-
party logistics service i.e. the realization of full-scale operation of e-procurement. A key
function of the 5PL is to aggregate the demands of the 3PL into a bulky volume for
negotiating more favorable rates with airlines and shipping companies regardless of
which generation of logistics solution belongs to all.

5PL
5PL Systems have developed the Wireless End-to-End Tracking of Containers System
which will allow government agencies to receive information on container shipments
which are now not available.
5pl Systems have common ownership with Smarter Container Inc, the company which
developed Smarter Container (R)

The Fifth Party System, also called the New Deal Party System, refers to the system of
politics in the United States that began in 1933 with a realignment caused by the Great
Depression in the U.S. The New Deal Coalition was forged by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt and kept his Democratic Party in power most of the time until 1968. [1]. It
followed the Fourth Party System, (usually called the Progressive Era by historians).
Experts debate whether it ended in the mid-1960s and was replaced by the Sixth Party
System, or continues to the present. Paulson (2006) argues that a decisive realignment
took place in the late 1960s.

Sixth Party System

The Sixth Party System is variously dated by scholars, usually from 1968 or 1980. Shafer
(2007) calls it the "Late New Deal System." The 6th System was characterized by a
Republican dominance, with the GOP winning 7 of 10 presidential elections from 1968
through 2004. Control of Congress was split. The dominant leader of the 6th Party
System was Ronald Reagan, with Republicans using his as their standard of proper
politics into the late 21st century.

New voter coalitions included the emergence of the "religious right" -- a combination of
Catholics and fundamentalist Protestants united on opposition to abortion and gay rights.
On the left, to a lesser degree, Democrats augmented their coalition with well educated
voters, gays, and non-religious seculars. The Hispanic population grew very rapidly;
reaching 15% of the population, but turnout was so low they were not a major factor in
voting, except in California. Although George W. Bush made a special effort to reach
Hispanics, their negative reaction to Republican nativism on the issue of immigration
strengthened the Democratic affiliations of those Hispanics who voted.

New rules changes involved campaign financing, as very large sums were raised and
candidates spent much of their energy focused on raising money behind the scenes. New
campaign technologies involved the Internet, but television advertising continued to grow
in importance, overshadowing the Internet as a campaign tool. Howard Dean in 2004
demonstrated that the Internet could be used to organize and finance a crusade, and this
model was followed by most of the candidates for the 2008 election, with Barak Obama
and Ron Paul the most successful.
