What is logistics?
A process of planning, executing, and managing the movement of goods from the point of origin to the final destination.
Let’s explore the key components next to help you better understand how logistics works in practice.
Key Components of Logistics
- Order Fulfillment
In supply chain management, fulfillment is the phase of receiving goods and delivering orders to customers. Usually, it begins when a customer places an order and ends once the product is received.
In-house: Manages all parts of order processing. From inventory to order transportation.
Outsourced: Involves a business working with a third-party logistics (3PL) provider to manage some or all parts of order fulfillment, such as inventory control, material handling, and cargo shipping.
Dropshipping: A method where retailers sell products without keeping them in a warehouse. For example, when a customer orders, the retailer passes the request to a third-party supplier that ships the product directly to the customer.
Hybrid: Multiple fulfillment strategies that aim to improve efficiency and meet diverse customer needs.
- Freight Forwarding
This process is handled by an experienced cargo shipping company to ensure that products will be safely transported from the warehouse to the customers.
Additionally, freight forwarders manage the risks and benefits of shipping by negotiating tariffs and import restrictions.
- Warehousing and Distribution
An organized warehouse helps you store and deliver your products efficiently. In many ways, excellent warehouse management can be a significant competitive advantage.
- Supply Chain Management
Involves analyzing and improving the entire supply chain process. From sourcing raw materials to delivering finished products. It covers demand forecasting, procurement, inventory management, and order fulfillment.
- Transportation
One of the most critical activities handled by a logistics provider. It is the logistics company’s responsibility to arrange the mode of transportation depending on the requirements of the order shipment.
