Coordinating transactions among companies that allow the appropriate movement of goods, services, and information to consumers from suppliers effectively and efficiently still is hard to accomplish. There are many situations in which the logistic performance failed, frequently because of the difficulty of synchronising the business technological systems with the logistic processes, thereby yielding disastrous consequences. Thus causing the loss of time, money, and even certain companies could close and will be weeded out if they do not cope with application of e-logistics while performing their business. This article presents discussion of e-logistics and its application in e-commerce. The application of innovative solutions in logistics will yield posititve outcomes that will help improve the company's overall performance. The consumer satisfaction by e-commerce will be taken in consideration, and in particular by e-logistic solutions. Such methods as literature review, synthesis and and comparison wil be employed.

Logistics management is defined as that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements. Traditional logistical issues may be amplified by an e-commerce venture. Adopting e-commerce may greatly expand the marketplace. The organization needs to be concerned with its ability to deliver its product to potential customers. Realizing the importance of E-commerce in logistic management, an attempt has been made in this paper to review the existing literature with the objective to gain insights into the impact of E-commerce in logistic management. The advantages of the E-commerce in logistic management are offered. Finally, summary of findings and calculations are presented.

The study aims to describe the relationship existing between electronic commerce and business logistics, highlighting the impact that such a branch of the new economy will have on the logistics structures, in the next future. The purpose of this paper is also to identify the organizational model characterizing the outbound logistics process and that will most likely be implemented by those companies that will be succesful in the electronic commerce (B2C) of "physical products". In order to provide further design advices, a specific section of this paper has been dedicated to the identification of the critical variables that may influence the design of the logistics network, with specific reference to the logistics "last mile" issue. The analysis of the combination of such variables has allowed the formulation of a reference framework which can easily be used to evaluate the main distribution alternatives: direct (home) delivery to final customer vs. delivery through a logistics platform (sales outlet, cross docking point, local distribution center, etc.).With this framework it is possible to more accurately understand the relationships among customer service requirements and cost levels, variables that can be managed by the network designer and choices of the most effective way to perform the physiacal delivery service.

Third-party logistics (3PL), a relatively new industry, has gained momentum since the emergence of global market and the Internet, in particular Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce). Global competitiveness places more pressure on companies to improve their delivery performance of products and services to customers. In an effort to improve the quality of delivery service, companies have outsourced their logistics services including packing, warehousing (inventory management) and shipping of goods to customers. Communication plays an important role in integrating the activities along the logistics value chain. Information technologies such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), the Internet, World Wide Web (WWW) and E-Commerce have contributed greatly to improving communication with partners in the logistics chain. In particular, real-time information systems such as web-based logistics information systems help to improve 3PL services. In this paper, a case study of E-Logistics is used to illustrate the implications of Information Technology (IT) in particular the Internet, WWW and EDI on the performance of the logistics value chain is presented. A framework based on the literature survey and case study is proposed to help companies develop an E-Logistics system to improve their competitiveness. This is the Pre-Published Version.

The relationship and cooperation between logistics and technology are increasing day by day and new transportation methods are being introduced for the needs of the sector. Considering that the competition between companies is increasing day by day, different technologies used in logistics and logistics have also become frequently preferred. For the operations to be carried out, different transportation modes, mainly road, rail, sea, and air, are preferred according to the characteristics, weights, and dimensions of the products. In case the products to be transported are in special cargo status, some points should be paid special attention to during transportation. Special tools and equipment are used if the products have explosive or flammable properties defined as dangerous. In the transportation of perishable products, which has been carried out frequently in the recent period, transportation vehicles that will protect the transported product from external environmental conditions should be used. These types of vehicles used to transport products have a close relationship with technology. The vehicles used in the transportation of the products, which have an important place among the logistics technologies, have gathered different equipment according to the purpose of use. In this study, Logistics for logistics activities Information Systems will be examined.

The growth in the volume of e-commerce in recent times has led to a corresponding rise in logistics activities. It would be beneficial to consider this increase in terms of both volume and the impact on the environment and world we leave to future generations. Considering the above, it would be greatly beneficial if the logistics activities implemented in electronic commerce were to be sustainable. One of the areas where transportation plays a crucial role is in the delivery stage of orders, which is a significant aspect of e-commerce. It is worth noting that, as electronic commerce orders are mainly fulfilled via road transportation, issues such as carbon emissions and traffic density may be evaluated negatively in terms of sustainability. Moreover, the relatively high return rate in e-commerce adds an additional burden to reverse logistics activities. We recognize that the packaging and parceling activities used for product delivery are currently not classified as recyclable items, which could potentially contribute to sustainability concerns. In this paper, evaluates the sustainability of logistics activities applied in electronic commerce. The paper also explains the impacts of these activities.
