Flow coordination
Transport logistics
Drivet Transport International organises and coordinates your logistics flows in France and Europe, from goods receipt and warehousing through to order preparation, dispatch and transport organisation. We develop solutions for one-off requirements as well as regular business flows.
Logistics
Understanding transport logistics
Logistics covers all the operations used to control the physical flow of goods and the information that accompanies them, from supply through to final delivery. It is not limited to warehousing: it also includes receipt, handling, storage, inventory management, order picking, packing, dispatch and transport.
Transport is therefore an integral part of logistics. It moves goods between suppliers, production sites, warehouses, distribution platforms and recipients. Logistics places that movement within a wider organisation so that the right products are available at the right place, at the right time and under the planned conditions.
Before transport, logistics can begin as soon as goods are received: quantities and product condition are checked, items are identified, put away and assigned to storage locations. Inventory management then provides visibility of available goods, tracks incoming and outgoing stock, anticipates replenishment and limits shortages or unnecessary immobilisation.
Order preparation is another essential stage. Products are picked, checked, consolidated, packed and labelled before dispatch. Depending on the flow, this may involve parcels, full pallets, multi-reference orders or goods that must be consolidated before departure.
Transport and logistics are closely complementary. A coherent organisation links receipt, storage, preparation and dispatch without unnecessary breaks. Drivet Transport International reviews transport and logistics requirements as a whole to build clear flows suited to each customer’s operational constraints.
Logistics support
How can Drivet Transport International support your logistics?
Drivet Transport International helps businesses organise logistics flows in the Paris region, throughout France and for operations involving European flows. Depending on the requirement, we can coordinate several stages of one logistics chain: receipt, warehousing, handling, order preparation, packing, dispatch and transport through to the recipient.
Support may cover a one-off requirement or a regular professional flow. The aim is to connect the stages of the logistics chain, limit unnecessary breaks between storage, preparation and transport, and create an organisation suited to volumes, deadlines, destinations and operational constraints.
The organisation may include a logistics warehousing solution, inbound and outbound management, order preparation, pallet or parcel consolidation and departure planning. Goods can be received, identified, held temporarily, prepared and returned to the dispatch flow in line with the required schedule.
Transport completes this organisation. For road flows, Drivet Transport International can arrange road freight transport suited to volume, timing and delivery constraints. When specific capacity or a dedicated vehicle must be sourced, freight forwarding provides a more tailored solution.
For smaller consignments or multi-destination distribution, groupage and distribution transport can also be integrated. When timing becomes the priority, an express transport solution can be reviewed. This combination creates a clearer logistics chain with one contact able to coordinate its different stages.

Frequently asked questions
What is transport logistics?+
Transport logistics coordinates the physical flow of goods and the information associated with it. It can include receiving, handling, warehousing, inventory management, order preparation, packing, dispatch and transport through to the final recipient.
Is transport part of logistics?+
Yes. Transport is one of the operations within the logistics chain. It moves goods between suppliers, production sites, warehouses, distribution platforms and customers, while logistics coordinates the complete flow around that movement.
What is the difference between logistics and transport?+
Transport mainly concerns moving goods from one point to another. Logistics is broader and also covers receiving, storage, internal handling, order preparation, inventory, dispatch and the information required to coordinate these operations.
What does order preparation involve?+
Order preparation involves picking the requested products from stock, checking quantities and references, consolidating them, packing and labelling them before they are released for dispatch or transport.
Why is inventory management important in logistics?+
Inventory management tracks incoming and outgoing goods, available quantities and storage locations. It also supports stock counts and replenishment planning in order to reduce shortages and unnecessary stockholding.
Can storage, order preparation and transport be combined?+
Yes. Depending on the requirement, a logistics organisation can link receiving, temporary or regular storage, order preparation and final dispatch. Coordinating these stages helps reduce breaks in the flow and align departures with the customer’s operational needs.
Does Drivet Transport International provide logistics solutions throughout France?+
Yes. Drivet Transport International can review and coordinate logistics requirements in the Paris region and throughout France. Depending on the operation, this can combine receiving, warehousing, handling, order preparation, dispatch and transport.
Can you organise logistics flows between France and Europe?+
Yes. When the logistics chain involves European flows, Drivet Transport International can coordinate preparation and transport operations between France and European countries, as well as selected flows between European countries. The organisation depends on the goods, volumes, destinations, lead times and transport constraints.
Can logistics services be used for a one-off requirement?+
Yes. Logistics services are not limited to permanent or recurring operations. They can be used for a one-off receipt, temporary storage, freight consolidation, preparation of a specific operation or dispatch planning before final delivery.
Can a company outsource only part of its logistics?+
Yes. A company can outsource only the stage it needs, such as warehousing, handling, order preparation, pallet or parcel consolidation, dispatch or transport. It is not necessary to outsource the complete logistics chain in order to use a tailored logistics service.
