Booking Window Allocation
The time slots allocated for clients to book collections or deliveries. It ensures predictable scheduling and on-time fulfilment.
Buffer-Stock Christmas Reserve
Extra inventory held specifically to handle holiday-season surges. It helps retailers avoid stockouts during high demand.
Back-haul optimisation
The practice of planning return journeys of trucks to carry freight rather than travelling empty, improving efficiency and reducing cost. Back-haul optimisation contributes to sustainability goals by lowering fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Business-to-business (B2B) logistics
Logistics services provided by one business to another, often involving bulk shipments, scheduled deliveries and complex supply-chain requirements. B2B logistics demands reliability, inventory control and tailored service rather than simple consumer fulfilment.
Break-bulk handling
The process of turning large, bulk shipments into smaller parcels or lots for distribution to multiple destinations. Break-bulk handling is often used in freight forwarding and cross-docking to improve flexibility in delivery networks.
