Abstract: The modernization and digitization of businesses have significantly influenced the growth of the courier industry in Malaysia and globally. In today’s dynamic business environment, rapid shifts in operational processes have increased the demand for strategic partnerships to ensure sustainability in the digital age. Among these, collaboration with third-party logistics (3PL) providers has become a critical component of supply chain management. The integration of 3PL services, whether through contract logistics or outsourcing demonstrates the need for businesses to remain adaptable, particularly with the rise of e-commerce. While courier companies have traditionally been part of the logistics landscape, the evolving nature of logistics management now necessitates deeper engagement with 3PL providers. Consequently, organizations must carefully evaluate the performance and suitability of such partnerships before implementation. This study aims to review existing performance metrics within the 3PL sector and identify key factors that contribute to effective performance measurement. The ultimate goal is to develop relevant performance indicators tailored to courier companies operating in 3PL environments.
