7	Fifth Party Logistics Fifth Party Logistics is the discipline that bridges the gaps left in traditional Third Party Logistics providers and the new Fourth Party Logistics Providers. Where 4pl's attempt to provide supply chain planning with their own optimization software and business process reengineering of 3pl processes, 5pl's leverage the buyer's or First Party's existing technology and infrastructure to drive costs out of the supply chain by transforming to a Virtual Organization (v-org). 5pl is the evolutionary step towards Zero Party Logistics. The goal of 5pl services is to ultimately eliminate the need for 3pl's and 4pl’s, quickly transitioning into a lights-out supply chain.
8	Zero Party Logistics Zero Party Logistics is the disintermediation of 3pl and 4pl’s using 5pl disciplines to transform a company into a v-org. Zero Party Logistics really means that the traditional logistics departments become nothing more than an integrated information chain between buyers and carriers. All optimization and planning is conducted using either a company's own resources or 5pl services. All execution of the plan is conducted using a company's own ERP system. In a v-org, contractual logistics requirements then become a function of the financial department.
