Only unified global supply chain visibility offering with one seamless experience and frictionless collaboration across the ecosystem: project44

As the global economy moved into the 21st Century, logistics became a critical part of supply chain management and consumer demand. In less than two decades, logistics management has influenced product movement to meet or exceed consumer demand. Companies saw they could lower costs and increase productivity by managing logistics on system theory and managing the company to boost performance. By creating partnerships with suppliers, shipping services, and warehouses, and connecting these services through automated systems, the logistics of getting products to the consumer are improved with reduced overhead costs and faster delivery. When companies create a blueprint that outlines the logistics of the supply chain, each component within that logistics model stays focused, reduces expenses, and moves quickly and efficiently, resulting in higher customer satisfaction. Logistics helps companies understand the key metrics, core processes, and long-term goals of their supply chain so they can get the right item to the right place at the right time.

Logistics within supply chain management is constantly changing to meet consumer demands and is an essential component of supply chain management. It involves the planning, carrying out, and managing goods, services, and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Logistics aligns the intricate pattern of traffic and transportation, shipping and receiving, import and export operations, warehousing, inventory management, purchasing, production planning, and customer service. Companies see logistics as a critical blueprint of the supply chain. It is used to manage, coordinate, and monitor resources needed to move products in a smooth, timely, cost-effective, and reliable manner.
