Definition:  “a defined area within which all activities relating to transport, logistics and the distribution of goods, both for national and international transit, are carried out by various operators. It is run by a single body, either public or private, and is equipped with all the public facilities to carry out the above mentioned operations”. - by European Association of Freight Villages EUROPLATFORMS. Different types of logistic platform:

  1. Unimodal distribution centres
  2. Logistic areas
  3. Multimodal platforms

The logistic platform concept does not only include a strictly functional dimension. Indeed, its variety of dimensions make it dynamic, taking different forms depending on the configuration of said dimensions.

Automation of the logistics business is very important these days, since the quality and speed of delivery is of global importance. The economy of each country depends on this, so the faster the delivery of goods occurs, the greater the country’s GDP will be. In order to develop custom logistics software it is necessary to spend a lot of time and money on its implementation. Personally, I would recommend that you contact specialists in the field of software development for logistics - this company CodeIT . With their experienced business analytics department, you will be able to achieve your business goals much faster as they dive into the analysis phase of your business and provide the most detailed plan for the product development process.

In practice, businesses often use logistics platforms in conjunction with warehouses to enhance overall supply chain efficiency. The logistics platform may integrate with the warehouse's management system to provide real-time data on inventory levels, order statuses, and other critical information. This integration helps organizations make informed decisions and streamline the movement of goods from the warehouse to their final destination.
