What are logistics solutions?
Logistics Solutions are the answers to logistical problems. In recent centuries, the main focus has been on the challenges of mobility. The railroad was invented, intermodal containers were developed and the Euro pallet was introduced.
Nowadays, logistics solutions are more likely to be found in the digitalization of logistics processes. The aim here is usually a more efficient workflow and a long-term reduction in costs. But global networking between logistics providers is also considered a logistics solution. For example, cooperation between two companies can benefit everyone involved, including paying customers.
