In supply chain management, inbound logistics refers to the process by which a company receives goods, either by purchasing them or in consignment. It includes the transportation, storage and delivery of the goods.

E.g. when a company purchases goods from a foreign manufacturer, the inbound logistics includes the shipping of the goods by sea, the storage when it arrives at port, and finally the distribution by land to its operating facilities.

Outbound logistics applies to the process that takes place when the company sells the goods to either final consumers or other companies.
