Trade logistics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Retail logistics describes the management process of the entire goods - and related information flows between a retail company and its suppliers , within the retail company and between a retail company and its customers.

The aim of the trade logistics is an availability of goods at the POS ( point of sale = point of sale ) taking into account the costs caused thereby and in avoiding the bad buys at the POS.

The current trends in retail, e.g. digitization, the increasing importance of e-commerce and increasingly individual customer requirements lead to far-reaching changes and adjustments in terms of structures and processes in retail logistics under the aspect of competitiveness. [1]
