The efficient movement of goods from their origin to their final destination is known as logistics. The goal of logistics is to promptly and economically meet consumer demands.

Logistics, in a broader sense, refers to organising and transporting resources — people, materials, inventories, and equipment — from one location to storage at the desired destination. In the military, logistics refers to transporting equipment and supplies to troops on the battlefield.

Logistic management is critical to the success of any business. Companies use logistics management to ensure that goods move smoothly from their origin to the end of consumption.

Companies can build proper strategies and frameworks with appropriate planning, making the entire process much more straightforward for the business.

Freight forwarding is a service industry that involves moving goods around the world on behalf of exporters. As a freight forwarding consultant we act as the intermediary or broker between you and the shipping company, airline, rail or road haulage company. A freight forwarder will save you time and money if you’re exporting large volumes of goods or high value items by sea or air freight.If you’re exporting smaller volumes, or regular numbers of packages, it may be simpler, cheaper, and quicker to use a parcel courier. Various couriers can offer free collections 7 days a week and tracked delivery. Unlike freight forwarders, courier services generally use their own staff and equipment to make deliveries. A freight forwarder can:

• prepare customs and shipping documents
• advise on a country’s rules and regulations
• arrange and manage several different transport methods for a shipment
• negotiate freight charges
• arrange cargo insurance
• book cargo space (you will save money if you consolidate your shipments)
• pack goods for export (this requires specialist knowledge)
• move dangerous goods
• manage customs clearance and the payment of import duty at the foreign border
