Abstract: The logistics company is challenging and at the same time is a necessity to introduce it in the management activity, which in our opinion means more than just the supply of means of transportation with goods since the company's manager of logistics problems should know very well which are the existing internal and external infrastructures and organized in logistical platform that will be introduced in the company's strategy to save resources and surface sizing storage. The purpose of this paper is to show that creating an efficient logistics system by a company leads to the reduction of the negative effects of freight transport, but also creates conditions for a sustainable development. It is designed to allow the use of an information system that will enable the implementation of effective programs for optimal routing of transportation means in order to achieve the objectives, meaning the transportation of goods to the customer at deadlines and respecting quality conditions.
