1. Customer service in logistics

 

Problem of logistics – to provide timely and exact execution of orders of external and internal consumers. Therefore, service of consumers represents a key element of logistic strategy. Until recently the given function was considered as a marketing prerogative. Basic elements of marketing are defined by a formula with the conditional name four "P" – product/service, advance (stimulation of sales), a payment (price), "counter" (a sale place). Effective marketing strategy is reduced uniting the resources "attached" to each of these elements, in the uniform force of impact on the consumer.

Often as the consumer one of the enterprises of the firm or its business partner, relating to other link of a logistic chain acts. Regardless of motives and the purposes of deliveries service of consumers (satisfaction of their inquiries) – the key factor forming requirements of logistics. Developing logistic strategy of firm, it is very important to imagine its service opportunities well.
