A large part of working with e-commerce is to find smart solutions to logistics that allow your business to operate. But what is a logistics flow, and what logistics solutions are there that can help improve a company’s profitability?
What is a logistics flow?
A logistics flow is the process in which a range of activities happen to deliver a product to a specific person at a certain time. What activities the process includes depends on the industry in which the company operates, but logistics flows can feature everything from material acquisition to storage, packaging and delivery. Logistics flows can be more or less resource demanding, and that’s why a crucial part of improving a company’s profitability is to analyse the flow and coordinate activities to make the entire flow as time and cost efficient as possible. Larger companies often hire their own logisticians who are tasked with planning, managing and leading various flows, but another perspective is to hire an external company to manage logistics. This is called third party logistics.
