LOGISTIC SERVICES HOUSTON

Logistics is the overarching process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient movement and storage of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. It involves various activities, such as transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and order fulfillment.

Transportation is a subset of logistics that focuses solely on the movement of goods from one location to another. It includes the modes of transport (e.g., trucks, ships, planes, trains) used to move goods, but it doesn’t encompass other aspects like warehousing, inventory management, or coordination of the overall supply chain.

At LNC Logistics, we provide both logistics services (which include planning and coordination) and transportation services (such as dry van, flatbed, and LTL freight shipping).

Transportation plays a critical role in logistics, as it enables the physical movement of goods from suppliers to manufacturers, from manufacturers to warehouses, and from warehouses to customers. It ensures that goods arrive at the right place, at the right time, and in the right condition.

At LNC Logistics, transportation is a key component of our logistics services. We partner with an extensive network of carriers to move freight across North America, ensuring that shipments are handled efficiently and cost-effectively, whether for local deliveries or long-distance hauls.

Logistics in transport refers to the coordination and management of transportation activities as part of the broader logistics system. It involves planning the most efficient routes, choosing the appropriate transportation modes, managing carrier relationships, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing costs.

At LNC Logistics, we integrate logistics with transportation by not only moving freight but also managing the entire process from planning and tracking to execution. We ensure that transportation is optimized for efficiency, cost, and delivery timelines, giving our clients full visibility and control over their supply chain.

Warehousing refers to the storage of goods before they are distributed to their final destination. It involves inventory management, storage, and handling of goods in a facility until they are ready to be transported.

Logistics is the broader process that includes warehousing, but it also encompasses the planning, transportation, and coordination required to move goods from suppliers to customers. Logistics ensures that products are not only stored but also delivered efficiently and on time.

At LNC Logistics, we help clients by managing both the transportation and warehousing needs within their supply chain to ensure smooth operations.

Logistics is the overall process of managing the flow of goods, information, and resources from the point of origin to the point of consumption. It covers activities like transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and order fulfillment.

Distribution, on the other hand, is a subset of logistics that focuses specifically on the final step of the supply chain—delivering products from warehouses or distribution centers to the end customer. It includes order processing, picking and packing, and last-mile delivery.

At LNC Logistics, we handle the entire logistics process, from sourcing freight carriers to delivering your goods through our distribution networks, ensuring seamless coordination across every phase of the supply chain.
