Although both transportation and logistics deal with getting valuables from one location to another, logistics has added benefits and functions. Logistics executives also have to make decisions dealing with packaging,containerization, documentation, insurance, storage, importing and exporting regulations, freight damage claims, working and collaborating, managing vendors and partners, and risk mitigation. Even though these terms have been used as a substation for each other, the key differentiators are that logistics deals with the integration of storage, transportation, cataloguing, handling, and packaging of goods while transportation deals with the function of moving products or individuals from one location to the next.
