Goods move from raw material supplier to end customer through a series of interdependent stages – that sequence is the logistics chain. It covers all transportation, warehousing, and handling operations that advance raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products along a supply chain. Unlike the broader supply chain concept, the logistics chain focuses specifically on physical and information flows rather than on contractual supplier relationships. Each link depends on the one before it: a customs hold at a border crossing or a warehouse backlog ripples immediately through every downstream operation. Freight forwarders and shippers optimize the logistics chain through route selection, shipment consolidation, and coordinated customs procedures to reduce lead times and costs.
