Good day. Traditional methods of sourcing and allocating vehicle shipments to carriers often result in inefficiencies, increased costs, and delivery delays. This is where Central Dispatch, the leading online transportation logistics platform, comes into play. Anyone who needs reliable road transportation can call the central dispatch phone number and they will be happy to provide all the necessary services and will do everything possible to ensure that every client is satisfied that he turned to them.

Logistic is the process of planning, controlling and implementation of storage goods from the starting points and movement of the final product. Warehousing is a planned space for the handling and storage of goods and material. By storing the goods throughout the year and releasing them as and when they are needed, warehousing creates time utility.

Warehousing is holding inventory in a location. Logistics is the entire process of obtaining material from sources to putting it in the hands of users. Logistics includes transportation, information systems, warehousing and distribution, procurement, finance, performance metrics and so on

Distribution is a way of selling a company's product either directly or via distributors; "possible distribution channels are wholesalers or small retailers or retail chains or directmailers or your own stores" Distribution affects the place or path through which consumers can buy and receive the product. A distribution channel may be an on-site store, a virtual store, a retailer, a wholesaler, an agent, a telemarketer, or direct mail.

 

The relationship between distribution, Warehousing and logistics is conceived as a breakeven point at which goods/services/ideas and persons can be conveyed from the place of production to the society/final consumers/customers; through many means of communication such as the use of mobile phones, the internet, and other communication pipelines. Many modes of transportation are used to move the items: trucks are used as a means of transporting products to a storage warehouse for safety, to avoid theft and exposure in certain climates.
