What is logistics?
Logistics is a set of means and necessary actions that are used to get a product to the consumer from the original place where the raw materials are obtained, passing through the place of production to the final consumer. Logistics is essentially a specific technique in transport and distribution operations of market products. Logistics can include international or national products, although in recent times logistics has been understood as a term strictly linked to the transport of national and international products. Logistics is a term of military origin which was defined for a set of techniques used to transport troops, weapons and food. Currently, business logistics includes the Distribution and Marketing sectors and directly affects electronic commerce since currently an advanced logistics service is directly linked to the stock, packaging, distribution and transport sector.
At Terra Logistika we are proud to offer the best logistics services in Madrid.
