What a Logistics Coordinator does

They run the operational layer that gets things from point A to point B on time. Day to day that means:

Coordinating with carriers, freight brokers, and warehouses to move shipments

Tracking shipments in transit and flagging exceptions before customers notice

Managing documentation: BOLs, customs paperwork, proof of delivery

Resolving issues when something goes wrong: damaged freight, missed pickups, delays

Reporting on carrier performance, costs, and on-time delivery rates

A strong logistics coordinator stays calm when shipments are stuck and works the phone hard until things move. They build relationships with the dispatchers and customer service reps at the carriers, and those relationships pay off when capacity gets tight. Most companies hire one when shipping volume has grown past the point where founders or operations leads can track every move and customers start asking where their orders are.

What to look for in a Logistics Coordinator

The tell is how they handle an unexpected delay. A strong one walks you through how they'd notify the customer, work with the carrier, and find a workaround. When you interview, look for:

Specific experience with your shipping mode: parcel, LTL, FTL, ocean, air. They're different worlds

Comfort with documentation and compliance. International freight especially

A practical sense of cost versus speed tradeoffs

Avoid anyone who treats this as a desk job rather than constant problem-solving.

Tools a strong one should know:

A TMS like ShipBobShipStationMercuryGateor Project44an ERP like NetSuite or Sagecarrier portals for FedExUPSand DHLExcel for cost analysisShopify or your ecommerce platform
