A supply chain management company is generally a third-party operator managing the total overall movement of product whether inbound or outbound. Supply chain managers work across multiple functions and companies to ensure that a finished product not only gets to the end consumer but meets all requirements as well. Logistics is just one part of the larger, all-encompassing supply chain network.
Unlike supply chain that deals with multiple companies, Logistics refers to what happens within one company, including the purchase and delivery of materials, packaging, shipment, transportation of goods to distributors, etc.
