Purpose: The main purpose of the following article is to present the implementation process of interactive platform to exchange the information about innovations in the chosen international third-party company. The main identified problem is the problem connected with insufficient knowledge about innovation possible to use and even innovation already in use in the different logistics platforms when the need of its usage appears. Design/methodology/approach: Identified problem was connected with the not enough knowledge of current innovation in use or in consideration. The different platforms in the different regions or countries were not aware about technological solutions used in the whole organization and waste time and human power for searching the suitable solutions and solutions suppliers for the regional activity. Needs in this case were identified among the managers. The 60 managers from Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia were asked about the preferred user requirements of such a tool. Findings: The proposed platform allowed implementation in the 3PL company structure the knowledge about innovation flow and make such information highly available. Currently, the innovations in the filed of 3PL activity were divided into main categories as follows: picking, packing, transportation, internal transportation, sustainable solutions, quality control, reverse logistics and claims, warehousing and Big Data analysis. A presented case study was implemented in the activity of an international 3PL company which gain the awareness of innovations which are used in the different regions or which were considered to use. Originality/value: In the following research paper were presented the knowledge about innovation sharing platform for logistics operator to facilitate their activity connected with innovations implementation and as a result to provide the logistics services in the more efficient way.
