Abstract: Abstract Proper identification of information needs in logistics activities contributes to the improvement of both the entire logistics supply chain and its individual links. The importance of information in logistics processes is increasing. We are dealing with the growing pace of the information process itself. The effects of proper management of logistics information are visible especially in such areas as: inventory management, storage or distribution. Information flows are an integral part of any logistics supply chain. The article presents selected results of research on information areas important for the functioning and management of the logistics supply chain, implemented in enterprises in southern Poland. Empirical research was performed on the basis of anonymous data obtained from surveys addressed to selected 53 companies functioning in supply chains as chain links. The questionnaire form was addressed individually to the staff responsible for management in over 900 companies in 2017–2018. Fifty-three complete surveys were included as the basis for empirical research.
