Answer:
Inbound logistics is the management of goods and materials which are arriving at your business premises. It is the opposite of outbound (or 'despatch') logistics. For example, in a tomato canning plant, inbound logistics is concerned with the receipt and storage of empty cans and raw tomatoes, which arrive separately. Outbound logistics is concerned with the storage of canned tomatoes (the finished product) and despatch to customers.
