For any company, no matter its size or industry, the logistics process accounts for almost a third of total operating costs. The storage, transportation, packaging, distribution of product are vital activities for organizations to have sustained and stable growth.

However, if there are deficiencies in any of these activities, economic losses can impact up to 30% on the profitability of the company; In addition, there are also external factors (economic, cultural and social) that can make the negative impact even greater.

Therefore, it is key to be aware of the impact that logistics management has on the operational and economic performance of any company. An example of this is that increasing the number of customers does not mean that the specific needs of each of them can be met.
