Being involved in any business requires some form of logistics, whether it is a small, medium or large-sized business, requiring planning of transportation of goods or products from one point to another. Transportation is not the same with logistics, although transportation is an aspect of logistics. Logistics involves decision-making involving packaging, storage, insurance, importation and exportation laws, documentation, mitigation risk and expenditures, freight damage claims, management of vendors and partners, and collaboration with other departments within chain of supply.
