To prepare this paper, a study of the logistics literature has been conducted together with several case studies. The empirical evidence has been collected in Europe as well as in the USA. Different aspects of collaboration between organizations in logistics setups have been studied where the services and the activities have been analyzed to understand the characteristics of the role of third-party service providers. The results from the work cluster the different third-party service providers in three different groups: carriers, logistic service providers and logistics service intermediaries. All of these parties have different roles and provide various services in outsourced logistics setups. A collaborative logistics management model has been derived that embraces the role of the different parties, the information and material flows between them, the interface attributes and the information systems architecture.
