“…In addition to the cloud services, ref. [45] argued that crowd logistics companies could mediate the relationship between LSPs and their clients by hosting the outsourcing services through various technologies to allow sharing of information to optimize logistics operations. Thus, to meet customers' needs, LSPs are accelerating the adoption of relevant information technologies [42].…”

Sustainability awareness across various economic sectors requires firms to use logistics outsourcing to reduce logistics-related emissions with compliant logistics service providers (LSPs). LSPs apply advanced information technologies to help achieve high efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability goals. While logistics outsourcing has received considerable attention from researchers, limited research has identified the elements of logistics outsourcing and established research trends regarding technology and sustainability aspects of logistics outsourcing. This study aims to establish trends in technology and sustainability in logistics outsourcing and identify the important elements of logistics outsourcing. A bibliometric analysis technique using the Biblioshiny package in R. A SCOPUS search resulted in 2019 documents. Research on technology and sustainability in logistics outsourcing is growing, especially in developed countries, with little or no research from developing countries. Sustainable supply chains and third-party logistics themes dominated the past research. Current research is on reverse logistics, circular economy, and green logistics; the latter is likely to dominate the future, focusing on risk management, pollution control, and innovation through advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data. Essential elements of logistics outsourcing are identified as maintaining a good relationship based on trust and cooperation, LSP multi-selection criteria that include sustainability and technology capabilities, proper contract management, and an appropriate in-house versus outsourcing balance for competitiveness. LSP managers are advised to develop sustainability and technology capabilities, including reverse logistics. The paper contributes to logistics management theory by identifying the elements of logistics outsourcing and presenting a bibliometric result to guide future research on sustainability and technology capabilities in logistics outsourcing.

“…Crowd-logistics refers to logistics services that tap into the logistics resources and capabilities of individuals, using mobile applications and web-based platforms (Carbone et al, 2017). Most of the research in this literature focuses on the optimization of matching or geo-localization algorithms and elaborates models to enhance the logistics performance of the crowd, especially in last-mile delivery (Saglietto, 2021). Other articles provide a comprehensive analysis of crowd-logistics business models (e.g.…”

PurposeOver the last decade, a “new” sharing economy has emerged. So far, the supply chain literature has focused on platforms delivering crowd-logistics services that connect businesses and consumers (B2C). The literature has paid little attention to platforms that facilitate products exchanges between consumers. This article aims to develop a first supply chain conceptualization for consumer-to-consumer (C2C) product exchanges stimulated by the sharing economy. How to conceptualize C2C product exchanges from an Supply Chain (SC) perspective? Do such C2C product exchanges form what might be called “sharing supply chains”? What are the characteristics of these sharing supply chains?Design/methodology/approachThe authors rely on a single case study of Vestiaire Collective (VC), a C2C platform that links consumers buying and selling second-hand luxury goods. This case was not selected because it is a typical C2C product platform, but because it is an “extreme” case (Yin, 2014) meeting Siggelkow's “talking pig” criterion (2007).FindingsThe authors demonstrate that VC intermediates a “sharing supply chain”, whose features differ from forward and reverse supply chains. The authors stress that strong physical intermediation is crucial in this extreme case. The authors then contrast this extreme case with other forms of sharing supply chains to identify the variables leading to these alternative configurations. Finally, the authors develop theoretical propositions regarding the physical intermediation role that these platforms may play.Originality/valueThe authors' article extends the scope of the supply chain concept by identifying sharing supply chains alongside other types of chains. The article also points to the strategic role of SC dimensions in the sharing economy. The authors hope that this article will lead to further research on sharing supply chains.

“…Furthermore, the sharing economy contributes to workforce exchanges by using online apps or platforms (Belanche et al, 2021). From an extensive review of the literature on sharing economy for logistics services and crowd shipping, Saglietto (2021) showed that the literature focus on the optimal allocation of costs, prices and supplier relationships. Moreover, the author lists the international practices and reports the environmental impact of urban freight transport and crowd shipping.…”

Análise da taxa de entrega de aplicativos de entrega instantânea e a remuneração dos entregadores em cidades brasileiras

et al. 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar a relação da taxa de entrega e da remuneração dos entregadores de aplicativos em cidades brasileiras. Os dados referentes à taxa de entrega e à distância percorrida foram obtidos nos principais aplicativos de entrega para oito cidades brasileiras, dentre elas cinco capitais e 3 cidades do interior. Foi utilizado regressão linear para identificar uma relação entre a taxa de entrega e a distância. Os resultados mostraram diferença na taxa fixa e na taxa variável de entrega entre as cidades consideradas na análise. Para obtenção de uma remuneração básica, isto é, o salário-mínimo, o entregador precisa trabalhar mais de 44 horas semanais, realizando pelo menos uma entrega por hora a uma distância de 3km. Contudo, esta jornada de trabalho pode ser extenuante se as entregas forem realizadas por modos não motorizados.
