Excel Guides for Logistics Professionals

If you work with stock, shipments, or delivery schedules, Excel is probably already on your desktop. It’s more than a grid of cells – it’s a fast way to sort data, forecast demand, and keep costs in check. On this page you’ll find the most useful Excel articles we’ve published, all aimed at helping you get more done with fewer clicks.

Why Excel Matters in Logistics

Logistics teams juggle inventory counts, carrier rates, and delivery timelines every day. Excel lets you combine all that information in one place, run simple formulas, and turn raw numbers into clear charts. Need to compare carrier costs? A quick pivot table can rank them by price per mile. Want to predict future stock levels? Use built‑in forecasting functions or the logistic regression guide we’ve written. The best part? No extra software license – just the spreadsheet you already have.
