Logistics is a field focused on the planning, management, and execution of the movement of goods from the manufacturer to the end consumer. It involves not only transportation itself, but also related activities such as warehousing, packaging, packing technology, and freight forwarding. The main goal of logistics is to ensure that goods reach the right place at the right time as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Logistics processes are often highly complex and connect manufacturers, retailers, transport providers, and even government institutions. A logistics company provides a wide range of services — from route and capacity planning, warehouse and distribution hub management, to parcel delivery and end-customer communication.
