What is a Logistics ?

Simply put, a logistics company assists other companies to move goods from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’. This could be anything from manufactured goods, services or information. Essentially, anything that needs to be transported from one location to another can be done by a logistics company.

A good example to use for a logistics company would be same day couriers. Their primary function is to move goods from one place to another on the same day. Courier companies such as these can be used by anyone from online retailers to businesses selling hoses.

Freight Brokers

Freight brokers will act as a go-between for shippers and carriers. Typically, they do not have any assets to bear in terms of actual ships, trucks or warehouses. Instead, they will operate a network of other small to large businesses to provide you with the services you need. This is here to offer their clients many shipping options, and an alternative to larger companies. Typically used because they can offer great flexibility.
