Dostawczy

Dostawczy is an adjective in the Polish language that denotes relation to the delivery of goods. It is used to describe objects, services, or activities that involve transporting and handing over products to customers or other recipients. In everyday language, the term is most commonly encountered in logistics and commercial contexts, where it labels equipment such as vehicles and lines of business oriented toward delivery.

Origin and usage: The word derives from the noun dostawa (delivery, supply) with the suffix -czy, forming adjectives such as dostawczy. It is typically found in compounds like pojazd dostawczy (delivery van), usługa dostawcza (delivery service), and dział dostawczy (delivery department).

In logistics, dostawczy activities emphasize outward distribution of goods from the supplier to the customer, as opposed to inbound or production-focused processes. The term can refer to fleets of vehicles, routes, documentation, or processes designed to ensure timely delivery, including scheduling, loading, and last-mile fulfillment.

Related terms include dostawca (supplier or deliverer), dostawa (delivery), and logistyka dostawcza (supply logistics) or logistyka dystrybucyjna (distribution logistics). The adjective is commonly used to distinguish delivery-oriented functions from other areas such as production or procurement.
