How to understand a company's logistics process without being a logistics expert

What is a company's logistics process?

A company's logistics process refers to all the stages necessary to move products or services from the supplier to the end customer. It includes planning, warehousing, freight transportation, distribution, and tracking. Although it may seem complex, understanding it allows you to optimize time, reduce errors, and improve customer satisfaction.

Key areas within logistics

Although every business is different, every company has a logistics department responsible for coordinating inventory, orders, transportation, and deliveries. This logistics department in a company can work directly with suppliers or rely on logistics consulting firms to improve its processes.

Logistical aspects that you cannot ignore

Among the most important logistics aspects of a business are: understanding actual demand, having sufficient inventory, choosing your carriers wisely, and maintaining clear communication with customers. Ignoring these elements can result in delays, losses, or unnecessary returns.

To outsource logistics or not?

Today, many startups choose to work with logistics and transportation companies to outsource this function and focus on growth. These partnerships are key for businesses that don't yet have their own infrastructure or are looking to operate with greater flexibility.

Common cases in Mexican startups

A startup in Mexico can start selling only in its city, but as it grows, it needs to expand its distribution network. This is where logistics companies in Mexico come in, offering regional or national solutions to scale operations in an orderly manner without overwhelming internal resources.
