Outbound VS Inbound Logistics

Inbound logistics vs outbound logistics, understanding the difference and correlation between the two can help a business develop a comprehensive management strategy. Inbound would refer more to the transport, storage and delivery of goods coming into your business, whilst outbound refers to the same but for goods going out of your business.

Your company will work different supply-chain partners on inbound and outbound logistics. The inbound side is more to deal with the relationship between each company and their suppliers, whilst the outbound side is more to deal with how companies get products to their customers.

Inbound logistics covers anything from your company ordering from suppliers, example – tools, office equipment etc. Whilst dealing with your own products is more outbound logistics.
