Wholesalers facilitate the distribution of goods between manufacturers and resellers. They procure goods from producers and pass them through intermediaries like other wholesalers and retail outlets. Wholesalers must make decisions about the best ways to store and move goods and services to markets. Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the point of origin and consumption. It includes production logistics, which connects procurement to distribution logistics, and distribution logistics, which delivers finished products to customers through order processing, warehousing, and transportation. Major trends in logistical efficiency have emerged from advances in information technology.
