If we want to know the future of logistics<\/strong>, we must first know its history. The word “logistics” comes from the Greek root Logis, meaning calculation, and from the Latin logistic, which in Ancient Rome was used to identify the administrator or quartermaster of the Empire’s armies. Although the more modern origin comes from the French logistique through the English logistics, and refers to the military part that is in charge of the transport, lodging and provisioning of the troops in campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it encompasses a broader concept, we could say that logistics is in charge of everything related to the efficient organization of resources, and if we talk within the business world, logistics, historically has always been a cost, an obligatory function and without added value, we could say that it was a necessary evil also falling in an area where no advantage could be obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the industrial revolution and the improvement in production capacity, this concept has been changing, technological advances have also improved the operational possibilities, from a simple warehouse and transport to analytical centers, with the objective of minimizing costs. Later, computers and internet were introduced and it is here where some companies begin to use logistics as a competitive advantage, benefiting once again those who have more resources and therefore more access to innovative and expensive tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
