Hi, I am curious, what does logistics company normally do? :)
Logistics is a process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements. It iincludes inbound, outbound, internal, and external movements.
For carrier/freight forwarding, it includes
- Handling customer queries
- Handling shipper's booking
- Arranging the schedule for customers
- Arranging pickup issue according to different transport mode
- Liaising with customs agents about the customs clearance
- Following up shipment status with shipping lines, oversea agents
- Liaising with customers regarding to their products and payment
...
For International trade company, the process will be simplier than the above. |
