The art of logistics - integrate the strategic, operational, and tactical efforts of businesses -ensure that the right material reaches the right place at the right time The improvement of the taxation system, infrastructure and transparency in the system will pave the path of success and bright future for the logistics and warehousing sector

F.T.W.Zs are the need for the future for the sheer number of benefits they provide
Improvements in both cost and time are the key drivers for this concept Location is the most important consideration along with the connectivity Commitments need to be strictly adhered to as the warehousing companies sign forward contracts with their clients
