what is a logistics company

A logistics company is a third-party fulfillment provider that offers order processing and services like warehousing, picking, packing, and shipping. They help organizations plan, implement, and execute the movement and storage of products, materials, and services throughout the supply chain from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Logistics companies control and streamline various processes of moving goods, including warehousing and transportation, from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Different logistics companies will coordinate some or all of these processes, and adapt their offering to suit their clients’ needs. The services of logistics companies are not limited to transportation alone, but also include planning, scheduling, executing, and monitoring the supply chain. Logistics companies use sophisticated technology to digitize the supply chain and ultimately drive greater efficiency and reliability.
