Two aspects are important in the economic and business world today. Globalization, which involves the internationalization taken to the extreme and technological change, which involves the substantial shortening of the life cycle of products. In this context logistics has become, and it will be even more in the future, a basic tool for solving complex global competitive pressures and to promote strategic and comprehensive development of enterprises in continuous technological change.

Business logistics encompasses a whole network of elements and processes that, if not managed properly, the company could possibly end up in bankruptcy.

The key aspect of logistics is that it helps us place the right products, in the right place, at the right time and in the desired conditions, in order to contribute, as much as possible, with the profitability of a company.

The logistics function is key to satisfying the consumer, which implies: timely delivery, large inventories, wide assortment, return policies.

• A competitive advantage can be achieved if good logistics is carried out, better services are provided at lower prices. There are cost savings for both companies and customers, since about 15% of the product price corresponds to transportation. Improvements in information technologies have created opportunities that help logistics through computer programs for the supply chain management process, bar codes, satellite tracking of transport, electronic order transfer and payments, among others.

The implementation of integral logistics implies the provision of better customer service and the reduction of distribution costs. For this, teamwork is required both within the company and among all organizations in the distribution channel.

Teamwork within the company strengthen relationships between departments. Its objective is to transform traditional supply chains into integrated value chains.

Creation of logistics partners in order to provide greater value to the customer, strong relationships are developed with suppliers, transport companies, warehouses and service providers.

External logistics providers help customers strengthen slow and overflowed supply chains and deliver customers quickly and reliably.
