It is the link between a company&#8217;s production or warehousing and sales. Distribution logistics, also known synonymously as sales logistics or distribution logistics, manages the various process steps in the transportation of goods to their final destination. This includes all storage, handling and transportation processes of a product after its production until it reaches the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distribution logistics is responsible for the decisions, information, controls and checks required to get products or merchandise from the company to the customer as quickly as possible &#8211; either directly to the customer or via so-called sales warehouse stages. The aim is always to use the most strategically sustainable and effective route, taking into account the needs of the recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n            \r\n        <div class=\"spacing-block small spacing-block-id-69d0c90273a3a\" >                                     \r\n                  <div class=\"small-space\">   \r\n                  <\/div>                      \r\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n                <div class=\"headline-block \">\r\n                    \r\n                        <h2 class=\"wt-subheadline wt-sl\">Objectives and tasks of distribution logistics<\/h2>\r\n                            \r\n                        \r\n                                                            \r\n                <\/div>\r\n            \n\n            \r\n        <div class=\"spacing-block doublesmall spacing-block-id-69d0c90274c69\" >                                     \r\n                  <div class=\"double-small-space\">   \r\n                  <\/div>                      \r\n        <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>The objectives of distribution logistics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High availability: The customer should be able to buy and receive products as quickly as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low costs: Expenses for storage and transportation should be kept as low as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to achieve these goals, distribution logisticians have to fulfill many different tasks.
