Your Guide to Logistics

What Is Logistics?

The concept of logistics first began with the military, and it encompassed how supplies were successfully delivered to troops. It entered the business world in the 1950s, and now, it relates to the overall process of coordinating and managing the flow of goods throughout supply chains. As materials, consumer products, food, and numerous other items are scheduled for relocation, logistics professionals develop strategic plans for transporting, storing, processing, packaging, warehousing, and all steps of the process, so products arrive at their end location on schedule and intact.

Why Is It Important to You?

Logistics is an essential part of the economy and keeps business running. From major wholesalers and conglomerates to small businesses, suppliers of all sizes need to be confident that products will reach the consumer network. If you’re the inbound party, you also need to know that supplies will arrive on time. During this relocation, supplies will need to be warehoused safely, go through several modes of transportation, and pass through customs in multiple countries. Logistics professionals use data and real-time management to ensure smooth transport and on-time delivery.
