Outbound Logistics
Outbound logistics is the storage, handling and delivery of finished goods from an organisation to its customers.
Outbound logistics covers the downstream flow: picking and packing orders, arranging transport, and delivering to the customer, including last-mile delivery and any returns handling. For a supplier or marketplace it is the part of operations the buyer experiences directly, because it determines whether an order arrives complete and on time.
Strong outbound logistics depends on accurate inventory, efficient warehousing and reliable delivery. An operating marketplace that owns warehouses and a delivery fleet across Peninsular Malaysia controls its own outbound logistics rather than depending on third parties, which makes delivery performance more predictable for buyers.
