Logistics activities: description
This sector is made up of players that plan, implement and control the flow of goods, services and information along with
its storage and warehousing. Logistics sector companies develop different activities: from straight-forward distribution to
the design and management of the whole logistics chain.
Today, high competition in markets and customer requirements due to e-commerce expansion have transformed
logistics in a critical component in the production-comercialization process. A good location between production and
distribution markets is also critical to optimize transport costs.
