Globalization has increased international trades and demands for greater efficiency, in transportation and logistics activities by the end-users, to enable on-time delivery. Regardless of whether the supply chain is international or domestic, effective management of the purchased transportation process, to reduce cost and complexity and improve control, is essential.
Retail logistics include the entire process between a customer ordering a product and receiving it after a few days. The value chain of the target market encompasses each stage of the product movement from the warehouse and final delivery to the customer. It includes receiving the goods, warehousing inventory, processing the order, and delivering them after the requisite packaging and labeling process. During this entire process, a specific value is added at each stage of the process, therefore, contributing to the final value of the delivered product.
The retail logistics value chain constitutes the basic elements such as clients, material suppliers, customers, and vendors. Several clients or companies outsource a part or all of their logistics activities to service providers or vendors. These vendors typically handle more than one client at any given time. The client communicates the receipts or shipments to the logistics vendor, who then conducts the transaction on the client’s behalf. The client is thus either a buyer or seller for a transaction. The activities that are typically carried out by logistics vendors are warehousing, inventory management, cross-docking, transportation, and freight forwarding.
