Transport moves cargo from one point to another; logistics coordinates the wider system that makes that movement work.
Freight transport
Freight transport focuses on the physical movement of goods by road, air, sea or rail. It covers vehicles, routes, loading and delivery.
Logistics management
Logistics includes transport but also planning, warehousing, inventory, documentation, customs coordination, tracking and information flow.
Why the distinction matters
Businesses that understand both functions can choose better service levels, control costs and identify where delays or risks are being introduced.
