Freight forwarders, logistics service providers, and shippers use logistics management to plan, coordinate, and control the flow of goods, information, and resources across the supply chain. It covers forward flows—procurement, transport, warehousing, and last-mile delivery—as well as reverse logistics such as returns handling and recycling. The goal is to meet customer requirements for speed, reliability, and cost while deploying assets efficiently. In day-to-day forwarding practice, effective logistics management depends on clearly defined responsibilities, integrated systems such as TMS and WMS, and measurable KPIs. It differs from supply chain management, which additionally encompasses strategic supplier relationships and cross-company network design.
