Abstract
This epilogue presents the experiences of UPS Worldwide Logistics, a company known to be leading in the development and implementation of a fourth‐party logistics business model. This model applies information integration initially in logistics and transport operations. But UPS WWL has achieved full supply chain integration and strategic applications of the information availability to the benefit of its clients. Not only does that represent an application of the e‐supply chain, it also leads to the inclusion of supply Web practices in which multiple players team up flexibly to align to the end consumer.
