| Abstract | The purpose of this research is to investigate how logistics outsourcing performs activities that have been traditionally carried out within the outsourcer's company. The study examines the characteristics of logistics and transport services, which are important in cooperation with service providers. Two groups were formed according to the average values of the characteristics of logistics activities. 'Cost, quality and response' are important for the first group, while 'logistics, environment and the ability to adapt to client processes' are important for the second group. The results of the survey carried out in Slovenian enterprises show that both groups are primarily interested in express freight and shipment services, the difference lying in the understanding of logistics, mutual trust and brand recognition. The findings will be useful both in business practice and for managers, providing them with a better understanding of the performance of logistics outsourcing. |
