URL(uniform resource locator): is a unique identifier used to locate a resource on the Internet. For example a web page, a gopher
server, a library catalog, an image, or a text file. URL represent a standardized addressing scheme of Internet resources, and help the
users to locate these resources by indicating exactly where they are. every resource available via the world wide web has a unique
URL. URL consist of letters, number, and punctuation. The basic structure of a URL is hierarchical.
For example
the URL of this page is: https://www.helpwithpcs.com/jargon/url.ht

protocol, which means “the requested document is a “Hyper Text” document. Hyper Text is the language that websites are written
in. If you right-click on a website and click “view page source,” you can see the actual language that it’s written in. It’s more human-
readable than you might think. If the URL says “https://,” this means that it is a secure server, and verified to securely exchange
information. Only enter personal information on sites starting with https://.

For example
The protocol is http

domain name, like google.com, or whitehouse.gov. This is made of two parts: the .com or .gov is the “top-level domain,” or TLD.
There are a limited number of TLDs and access is controlled. For instance, only government websites can have a TLD of .gov.
“.com” refers to commercial entities. The other part of the domain name is the sub domain, usually referred to as “the website.” This
can be anything, whether goggle, or water cup, or antidisestablishmentarianism. These two parts combined refer to a server. “.com”
on its own does not refer to a server, and “iboughtthisdomainfortwodollars” is just a nonsense word. But together, they specify a
single computer
for example
The domain is www.example.co.in
domain www.example.com

path is anything that appears after the "/" after the host-name, but before a possible "?". An example would be
"games/images/display. HTML". The path is optional, too, or it can be quite long. It can have a filename ("display. HTML" in the
previous example), or just be one or more directories ("games/images/" in that example). This denotes what file to display at that site.

For example.
The path is /example.php
path example.php

Internet; is a global system of interconnected computer networks that interchange data by packet switching using the standardized
Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP). It is a “ network of networks” that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business,
and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cable, wireless connections, and other
technologies. And Internet carries various information resources and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer and
file sharing, online gaming, and the inter-linked hypertext document and other resource of the world wide web(WWW). The
following are major points which show how the Internet is used in logistics.
Operational Efficiency;vehicle are among the assets most ripe for improved efficiency,especially in terms of traffic and
fleet management in vehicle telemetric and vehicle- infrastructure integration have been vanguard applications in the use of sensor
data. Example,Transportation Information Center which evolved from a bus management system and other trucks system. Due to
responsible for providing efficient public transportation services through managing and gathering
information on all public transportation,excluding traffic signals. The transportation information Center
gathers data from streets, buses, taxis, and citizens using GPS devices, loop detectors, road sensors,
video, and citizen reports. This data enables a scientific approach to transportation-management policy.
Travelers have access to bus arrival times 24 hours a day, enabling them to schedule their routes and
choose which buses to ride. The system has increased transit efficiency, re-duced traffic, improved
uptake of transport services through clear communication to the public, and raised customer
satisfaction.
Safety and Security;monitoring of equipment and people to increase safety and security is another
main value proposition of information of technology, Uses information of technology to predict equipment
failure and reduce derailment risks. By placing acoustic and visual sensors on tracks to monitor
the integrity of train wheels, the company has been able to reduce bearing-related
derailments, which can result in costly delays and up to 20 million in damages per
incident. By applying analytics to sensor data, Union Pacific can predict not just
imminent problems but also potentially dangerous developments well in advance.
Customer Experience; Through connected retail, retail is an industry set for dramatic
change because information technology innovation . The “connected retail store” amount to diverse
collection of information technology -enabled use cases, all promising greater operation all
efficiency and new form of customer experience. And information technology will be instrument in
creating exciting new experience for many types of customers, in many different setting. One of
technology most robust use cases is the application of beacons and other sensory for customer
reconigition such as small sensory that can connected. Wireless to mobile devices such as smart
phones and tablets, mobile application and other enterprise application. This approach customer
experience desidn and execution is know as “hyper relevance”.

Order processing
This critical role of order processing is one that the Internet has helped to dramatically reduce costs. And,
reduction in paperwork is a major item of this cost saving when compared to conventional practices. Okay
another major benefit that the Internet has bestowed on this process is the increase in speed with which order
processing is now done. Since there is now a reduction in the time it takes for orders to be placed and
received by clients.

Purchasing
The Internet has also made it possible for cost associated with purchasing to be reduced. In the United States,
business firms have been able to make use of the Internet to streamline the purchasing function. With it there
is reduction in paper-flows as well as order-cycle times- the time it takes for purchased order to be delivered.
Today, face-to-face negotiations, which might be considered the order of the day in the past, are not
frequently used as bargaining, re-negotiations, term and price agreements, etc. can now be done via the
Internet.

Reduced cost

With the use of Internet of Things in Logistics, the companies managing the transport and transit department
can save huge bucks on their overall expenditure. For instance, the congested routes can be avoided with the
help of tracking GPS devices and sensors. This will help them in saving on the fuel costs and also reduce the
cost incurred due to damage caused to the food items due to delayed delivery. Thus, delay elimination and
reduction in the damage caused to the quality of cargo is yet another benefit of implementing the Internet of
Things technology in logistics management.

In Conclusion, Logistics depends on a high-quality level of management within the


supply chain in order to be effective. These logistics managers are in charge of purchasing goods
and making sure they’re transported correctly to their destinations. Logistics managers rely on
advanced information systems to manage and track materials, starting from when they’re first made
in the factory to when they’re sold in retail stores. Because of the increase in volume and
complexity that businesses face, information systems are the only way to accurately manage the
product flow within an organization.
