What is Logistics?

Logistics is used more broadly to refer to the process of coordinating and moving resources – people, materials, inventory, and equipment – from one location to storage at the desired destination. The term logistics originated in the military, referring to the movement of equipment and supplies to troops in the field.

Logistics Components

The management of logistics can involve some or all of the following business functions, including:

Inbound transportation
Outbound transportation
Fleet management
Warehousing
Materials handling
Order fulfillment
Inventory management
Demand planning

Why Logistics is Important

Although many small businesses focus on the design and production of their products and services to best meet customer needs, if those products cannot reach customers, the business will fail. That’s the major role that logistics plays.

But logistics also impacts other aspects of the business, too.

The more efficiently raw materials can be purchased, transported, and stored until used, the more profitable the business can be. Coordinating resources to allow for timely delivery and use of materials can make or break a company.

And on the customer side, if products cannot be produced and shipped in a timely manner, customer satisfaction can decline, also negatively impacting a company’s profitability and long-term viability.

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2021 will occur on Monday, May 31.

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.

Florida SBDC Network, UWF Haas Center,Florida Chamber Foundation, CareerSource Floridalaunch follow-up COVID survey Study seeks to better understand small business needs, challenges

Florida SBDC Network Headquarters (Pensacola, Fla.) – The Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network, the Florida Chamber Foundation, CareerSource Florida, and the University of West Florida Haas Center have partnered to launch a follow-up survey to understand the continued needs of small businesses as the pandemic and subsequent economic impacts reach the one-year mark.
The Small Business COVID Impact Survey 2.0 seeks to better understand the continued challenges small businesses face due to the pandemic. As part of the second phase, the survey will also solicit feedback regarding how small businesses have utilized the services of gig workers and subcontractors as they implement strategies to sustain their business.
“Small businesses are critical to Florida’s economy,” said Dr. Cheryl Kirby, interim CEO of the Florida SBDC Network. “Conditions have improved but small businesses still face challenges. This survey represents an important opportunity for our organizations to build on our previous research and ensure the voices of small businesses do not fade.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has caused devastating impacts for both businesses and Floridians,” said Michelle Dennard, president and CEO of CareerSource Florida. “Gaining a deeper understanding of long-term employment impacts due to the virus will help the CareerSource Florida network better connect job seekers and businesses to critical resources needed to support Governor Ron DeSantis’ vision for economic recovery.”
Data collected through the survey will be invaluable in supporting small business recovery efforts and better informing legislators and policymakers.
“Although there has been some relief for Florida’s small businesses, understanding the continued impacts to small businesses can help policymakers craft recovery measures to keep Florida’s small businesses providing jobs and creating new jobs in our state,” said Dr. Jerry Parrish, chief economist for the Florida Chamber Foundation.
“Supporting the state through market research and data analysis is our mission,” said Nicole Gislason, executive director of the University of West Florida Haas Center. “Our hope is that results gleaned through this follow up survey will help us better understand the needs of businesses.”
Small business owners across the state are encouraged to participate in the survey and share their experiences, including revenue loss, employment impacts, and need for assistance.
