Importance of International Logistics
Without cross-border logistical distribution, imports and exports can’t be effective. Hence the importance of international logistics. An adequate distribution strategy with well-defined logistic targets, technical, financial, and human resources optimization is essential to reduce unnecessary processes, costs and to improve efficiency in the whole global supply chain.
