Differences between logistics management and cargo management
In everyday life in the freight forwarding industry, it is common to hear the terms ‘Logistics Management’ and ‘Freight Management’ used synonymously. Logistics’ and ‘Freight’ are associated with the transport of goods, but those of us who work in the sector know that the two play a different role.
Load management
This is the process of supervising and managing an operation and delivery of goods. Freight management combines logistical expertise, human resources and knowledge to ensure smooth coordination between carriers and professionals in charge of cargo. In addition, freight management includes strategies to increase the efficiency of freight loading and commercial transportation.
Logistics Management
Logistics management is the part of supply chain management that plans, implements and controls the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods between the point of collection and the point of delivery.
As a distribution and transportation company in Madrid, we confirm that these are the main activities associated with our day-to-day business:
- Order management, both with customers and suppliers.
- Planning and management of warehouses and distribution centers
- Material handling and packaging
- Freight transportation
- Strategic and tactical planning for all aspects of the supply chain and goods movement
- Design and optimization of the entire network and agents involved in the supply chain.
- Management of information flow, tracking and traceability
- Supplier selection and relationship management
- Analysis and optimization of the flow of goods
- Complete supply chain supervision and flow management
- Asset management (inventory, infrastructure)
By way of conclusion, we can say that logistics management is a more global and inclusive term than freight management. The scope of logistics management is broader and can encompass a lot of activities, including freight management, therefore, freight management is a part of logistics management, however, it is not diminished in terms of importance.
