Because Logistics Means Progress, Efficiency and Effectiveness.

Manufacturers are in daily need of a faster and problem-free production process under the gradually intensifying competition conditions of today's global economy. The Supply Chain Management (SCM), which plays an important role in meeting this need, puts together the process of planning, shipment, transportation, customs clearance, storing, handling, packaging and distribution.

Right at this point, the concept of "logistics" is put into use in order to meet the customer needs within the process of a supply chain.

According to Council of Logistics Management (CLM), logistics is that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements.

This broad definition of logistics emphasizes the positive sides of working with a logistics firm supplying down to earth "global logistic services" and the advantages of cooperation with such firms. It also states that the main objective of a logistics partner is to create a "value chain" which contains common systems and mutual communication of variable information.

It is observed that especially multi-national companies try to determine their non-core activities and outsource them to logistics firms, in order to obtain a competitive edge by reducing their costs. However, despite all the advantages, we know that many firms try to handle their logistics activities within their own organizations in the national Turkish market.

Yet, working with a logistics partner enables the manufacturers to transfer all the liabilities that occur throughout the logistic process to the logistics firm, thereby leaving them to focus solely on their core business activities. A logistics cooperation established with a firm which is capable of supplying down to earth door-to-door services, provides invaluable opportunities such as accessing all the documents and information within the logistic process from a single source, decreasing the storage costs and optimizing the stock levels. Eventually, the need to employ logistics personnel is eliminated and all the risks of loss, accident, theft, damages and delay which might happen during shipment or stock handling can easily be transferred to the logistics firm.
