 I. INTRODUCTION
I.1. The Logistics Operators
Starting from the objective approach on which the alternatives
are based to increase the production and/or distribution of a
high-quality product or service, which in turn is considered a
competitive advantage, the definition of outsourcing for
logistics operators is born. It is also defined as the contracting
of one business entity to another, to perform the services for
which it was mainly contracted.
A logistics operator is the tool used by the company to direct
the transportation and handling of purchased materials from
the starting point of an origin to the point of arrival.
Regarding its functions, we observe the following:
- Storage services area: It is in charge of carefully selecting
the size, location and characteristics of the warehouse.
- Product process area: These are activities related to the
control, collection and shipment of products.
- Inventory control area: The quantity of products that must be
available for immediate delivery to a potential buyer is
calculated, where the exact delivery date is established.
- Among others.

II. DEVELOPMENT

II.1. Classification of logistics operators

2.1.1. 1PL (First Party Logistics)
These operators are characterized by offering services that
transport merchandise only to companies.

2.1.2. 2PL (Second Party Logistics)

From this level, there are only operators that generally offer
the transport and storage of goods, benefiting as an added
service for the management of material flows.
1
 2.1.3. 3PL (Third Party Logistics)
Operators at this level are in charge of a large part of the
company's logistics operators. They stand out mainly for their
services related to merchandise storage, inventory
management, product preparation, and transportation.

2.1.4. 4PL (Fourth Party Logistics)

Unlike the previous level, this creates a relationship between
the company and the variety of logistics service companies
that provide them, resulting in the organization of all supply
areas of the company.

II.2. Advantages and disadvantages of hiring logistics

operators
Some of its advantages are:
- Greater customer-supplier orientation
- Access to information from logistics experts
- Greater resources
- Application of its resources in key areas
- Cost control over a long period of time.
- The availability of new markets.
- A clear focus of the company.
Some of its disadvantages are:
- Logistics operators can be declared bankrupt
- Sensitive company data vulnerable
- The more customers, the lower the quality of care for each
one.
- Layoffs in negotiated processes
