The concept of logistics encompasses planning, implementation, and control of the efficient movement and storage of goods, services, and information, from origin to end user, with the aim of meeting customer requirements. This includes transportation, distribution, inventory management, order fulfillment, and the use of information systems to coordinate these activities.

Etymologically, logistinen is borrowed from the English logistics, reflected in Finnish as logistiikka, with the adjective adapting to Finnish morphology and inflection patterns.
