Fierce competition in today’s market has forced business enterprises to invest in and focus on supply chains. The growth in telecommunication and transportation technologies has led to further growth of the supply chain. The supply chain, also known as the logistics network, consists of suppliers, manufacturing centres, warehouses, distribution centres and retail outlets, as well as raw materials, work-in-process inventory and finished products that flow between the facilities.
The logistics management takes into consideration every facility that has an impact on cost. It plays an important role in making the product conform to customer requirements. Also it involves efficient integration of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses and stores and encompasses the firms’ activities at many levels, from the strategic level through the tactical to the operational level.
Logistics is a challenging and important activity because it serves as an integrating or boundary spanning function. It links suppliers with customers and it integrates functional entities across a company. With the ever-growing competition in today’s market place it becomes necessary for a firm to use its resources to focus on strategic opportunities. This includes several internal factors like management style, culture, human resources, facilities and several external factors like technology, globalization and competition. This is where the concept of logistics plays a major role, i.e. it helps to leverage certain advantages the firm has in the marketplace.
In the background of changing situation on local and global markets of delivery and sales companies more often use the Internet tools, letting realization of electronic transactions with partners in supply chain. Changes in management of supply chain happen with development of clients’ needs and technological possibilities of cooperating partners. Globalization of economic companies’ cooperation (e.g. in delivery, production and distribution processes), technological growth and innovative manners of economic activity, as well as stronger competition and shorter products life cycles on markets have caused pressure on changes of dimensions of supply chains’ acts — shorter time of order’s realization, global scope of activity, bigger elasticity and durability. One of the fundamental tools of supporting business processes have become electronic data interchange through the Internet. It has caused an epoch-making change for clients’ values — an independent access to information about products’ flow and localization of supply chain’s partners.
The growth of share of electronic commerce in commerce in general (all over the world and in Poland) has caused a need of an online access to logistic services amid suppliers and recipients on market. Growth of electronic commerce evaluating towards e-business has brought about a natural need of the growth of processes of the commodity flow service, in the area of the company front-office (e.g. sales, marketing, client service), as well as back-office (purchasing, warehousing, transport, production and co-production). The electronic data interchange between partners let them cooperate in real time and
create an integrated supply chain. Efficient, reliable and effective functioning of supply chains requires beyond good management of physical products flow, set under functional and organizational aspect, a system of information flow (flow and computerization).
Experiences achieved up to the present in the area of e-business enable to distinguish the following business models which define relations of market’s partners.
i. A business to business model (B2B) — this model embraces main economic contacts, it means their preparation, assessment of partners’ risk, negotiating and realization of order until full payment.
ii. A business to customer model (B2C) — it concerns financial services (e.g. electronic banking, insurances, investment funds), non-financial services (e.g. touristic services)
iii. A customer to customer model (C2C) — this model mainly includes hobby contacts or attendance in auctions.
Evaluating towards virtual organization a company could achieve bigger effectiveness, extend its sources base and join new markets all over the world. Main advantages of
e-business are:
▲ Lower cost of functioning.
▲ (^) Efficient management of the supply chain.
▲ Shorter time cycle and quicker reaching the market by product.
▲ New possibilities of promotion.
▲ Improvement of client services.
▲ Extend productivity of employees.
▲ Data safety
▲ Durability and capacity of connections.
▲ Communication standards.
▲ Access to historical data.
Partners in global chains and delivery nets use many present solutions of e-logistics to service business activity. Electronic services of logistic processes run by companies in the supply chain require the use of many electronic tools accessible through the Internet. It has brought about functional separation in the framework of e-economy in many areas of electronic services available through the Internet, e.g. e-purchasing, e-production, e- commerce, e-logistics, e-marketing, etc.
However, many trials have been done e-logistics term does not have one agreed definition. It is concerned that e-logistics means the use of systems, informatics tools and the Internet as communication medium to service logistic processes. The most often used tools of cooperation in the virtual scope of e-logistics are-
