Human civilization would have never reached its present stage of development if it did not evolve a fine mode of transportation. From the original form of transport by walking and then using domesticated animals to transfer goods and people, transportation and logistics has evolved to its present stage. Imagine if people of different places made immense progress in various sectors like medicine or food manufacturing, but none in the field of transport. All the other inventions and discoveries would have been restricted only to the place of origin without being transported to other regions – such is the important of transportation.

By definition transportation means the movement of goods and people from one place to another- this can be done using different modes of travel such as air, land and water. Logistics is the management of flow of goods, services, resources and people between the point of origin and the point of requirement so that the consumer has his needs satisfied. Logistics involves several aspects like inventory, transportation, warehousing, packaging and also security of the goods transported. The work, if performed manually, is quite tedious and time consuming. But nowadays, most of the work in both these areas is handled by sophisticated transportation and logistics software that takes out the drudgery of everyday operations.
