What is Transit Time?

Transit Time refers to the time a shipment travels from the point of departure to the point of destination via transportation. It is the time interval during which goods are in transit.

In logistics, transit time is a crucial factor as it determines the delivery date of the goods. It is influenced by various factors such as the mode of transportation, distance, route, customs clearance, and weather conditions. Accurate and efficient management of transit time is necessary for businesses to maintain customer satisfaction and optimise supply chain performance.
