Improvement of Logistics Services by the Example of Gefco

In the Russian Federation, transport is one of the largest sectors of the economy, as well as the most important component of the social and industrial infrastructure. All regions of the country are connected by transport communications. This fact is a necessary condition for the country's territorial integrity. Transport communications connect the country with the world community, provide foreign economic relations of the Russian Federation. Due to its advantageous geographical position, Russia receives significant income from the export of transport services. Transport plays an important role in the social and economic development of the country. It provides conditions for economic growth, increases the competitiveness of the national economy and the quality of life of the population. A clear organization of the work of transport affects the improvement of the work of trade organizations, the improvement of trade and technological processes, the speed of goods turnover, the volume and structure of inventories and, ultimately, the level and structure of sales costs. However, determining the mode of transport for transporting material flows is a very difficult task. The service in which the cargo owner is interested can not always be implemented within the framework of one type of transport. It is natural for any cargo owner to want to deal with one carrier or freight forwarder and with a minimum number of persons.
