Buyers Guide leaps into cyberspace

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 8/1/1998

Logistics professionals know how important it is to find the best products and services to meet their business needs. Given how quickly logistics requirements change, it's also important that this information be up to date and instantly available.

That's why Logistics created www.logistics-buyers-guide.com, the online complement to our print directories--the Logistics Management & Distribution Report Buyers Guide and the American Public Warehouse Register. This Web site offers the industry's most useful, comprehensive reference source for buyers of logistics-related services.

The Logistics Services Buyers Guide Web site's interface is logical and easy to use. A powerful search engine lets users search more than 3,000 listings by service or company name--enabling them to find and qualify the right logistics-service providers quickly. Service categories include motor carriers, intermodal service providers, industry organizations, third-party logistics companies, airlines and airfreight forwarders, ocean freight services, and public warehouses. An added benefit: The online guide will be updated throughout the year to ensure that the latest information is available.

Site sponsors will provide links to their own companies' Web sites along with an opportunity to send e-mail to them right from their listings, thus facilitating the research process.

Logistics isn't new to the Web. Its home page at www.logisticsmgmt.com offers news, features, analysis, and product information about transportation, logistics, and supply-chain management. The online buyers guide is linked to the Logistics Web site, so you can find everything you need to help you do your job effectively.
