Compared to many things, accounts payable (AP) processes in the logistics industry are relatively easy to explain. In the simplest terms, they involve shipping something from Point A to Point B, and sometimes via Point C.
Regardless of what that something is that needs to be delivered — a massive machine or thousands of face masks — the process is essentially the same. Typically, one company picks up the goods via truck, another company transports the goods over a long distance by ship or plane, and finally, a third company sees that the goods are safely delivered to their final destination.
