Description
Summary:The attention of Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) to market movements and trends is fundamental to winning accounts, as well as avoiding problems and keeping customer companies. In this context, the primary purpose of this article was to identify, characterize and analyse the types of logistics outsourcing in Brazil, to evaluate the LSPs concerning the capacity of integration in the supply chains (SC), through the positioning and offer of services that they adopt on their websites. Therefore, the theoretical discussion pointed out the importance of websites for organizations, considering the company's website as an essential communication channel. The study researched 154 websites of these providers in Brazil aiming to understand if the attributes and competencies disclosed are aligned with the theory. The results show that the majority (59%) of LSPs in Brazil are unable to articulate and present their skills in the same way that they are discussed in theory.

Neste contexto, este artigo tem como propósito principal identificar, caracterizar e analisar os tipos de terceirização logística existentes no Brasil, avaliando os PSL em relação à capacidade de integração nas cadeias de suprimentos (CS), por meio do posicionamento e oferta de serviços que adotam em seus sites. A discussão teórica aponta a importância dos websites para organizações, considerando o site da empresa como seu principal canal de comunicação. Pesquisou-se 154 sites destes provedores no Brasil, segundo os atributos e as competências evidenciadas na teoria e que caracterizam um PSL. A pesquisa realizada deixou claro que a maioria (59%) dos PSL no Brasil não consegue articular e apresentar suas competências de forma clara a quem consulta seus sites.
