If you are looking to get your goods delivered, you will need to hire the services of a logistics company. 

So, you might be wondering what a logistics company actually does. In this blog, we’re sharing our insider knowledge on what logistics companies do and how they can help you. 

What is logistics? 

Logistics may sound like a big word, but it’s really quite simple. A logistics company assists other companies or customers to move goods from one place to another. 

Basically, anything that you need delivered will be done by a logistics company. They will help to plan, implement and execute the movement of your goods. 

Some logistics companies are only involved in a specific part of the process, while others will be there for the full picture. 

What does a logistics company do?

Logistics companies assist in the movement of goods from Point A to Point B. There are many types of companies, couriers, haulers, and shipping companies that work together to ensure goods are delivered. Here are two of the most common types:

• Freight Brokers: Freight Brokers act as a go-between for shippers and carriers. They don’t own assets like trucks, ships or warehouses. Instead, they operate a network of smaller businesses to deliver goods. This way, they can offer flexible options to customers.
  
• 3PLs: Third Party Logistics companies own warehouses, processes and vehicles. They offer single services like transportation or storage. They can offer a full range of services and plan for longer or more complex trips. 

Why use a logistics company?

Working with a logistics company can bring many benefits to your business. They can help you with:

• Warehousing and storage
• Packaging
