Performance of 4flow 4PLs Across Market Features

4flow 4PLs Likes & Dislikes

Like

Their transport system is easy to understand and use, they also provide a big amount of data which can be used to optimize and improve processes.

Like

The combination between the provided software in combination with operational excellence and consulting background. Each pillar feeds the other. Additionally, we as a customer are taken seriously with our wishes and proposals.

Like

Beyond strategy, 4flow excels in execution. Their implementation support is hands-on, pragmatic, and always reliable - ensuring that great ideas actually deliver results.

Dislike

In the case of really urgent shipments, the current process of finding the cheapest and fastest carrier takes too long, which makes it hard to use the tool for critical same-day shipments with a short time window.

Dislike

4Flow has to fight with fluctuations like everybody else, so some of our contact partners change regularly.

Dislike

Given the complexity of our global operations, some solutions naturally take time to implement. That said, 4flow's structured approach and ongoing support make the journey worthwhile.

    Jul 14, 2025
    We started working with 4flow for 4PL service from almost 10 years ago, in China we started with domestic transportation and transportation tender. Then we have also implemented for inbound sea freight as well as outbound sea freight in the recent 3-5 years. 4flow as a netreul 4PL service provider, the overall performance is very good.
