Lisälogistiikka

Lisälogistiikka, a Finnish term roughly translating to "additional logistics" or "supplementary logistics," refers to services and operations that extend beyond the core supply chain functions of a business. This concept encompasses a range of activities designed to enhance efficiency, provide specialized support, or offer value-added services to customers.

These supplementary logistics activities can include, but are not limited to, warehousing and storage solutions beyond basic inventory management, last-mile delivery optimization, reverse logistics processes for returns and repairs, and specialized packaging or kitting services. It may also involve the management of spare parts, maintenance logistics, or the handling of waste and recycling within the supply chain. The aim of lisälogistiikka is often to improve customer satisfaction by offering more flexible or comprehensive delivery options, reducing operational complexity for the primary business, or enabling businesses to focus on their core competencies.

Businesses may choose to outsource lisälogistiikka to third-party logistics (3PL) providers who possess the expertise and infrastructure to manage these specialized tasks effectively. This allows companies to gain access to advanced capabilities without significant capital investment. In essence, lisälogistiikka represents an expanded scope of logistical support that contributes to a more robust and responsive supply chain.
