Logistics World

What Logistics World does

Logistics World operates a web-based worldwide directory of transportation and logistics resources, marketed under the brand LogisticsWorld™ and owned as a sole proprietorship by Matthew Dale Cox through the legal entity "LogLink™ Internet Services / LogisticsWorld™ Internet Advertising" (Nevada, USA; operating from Rio Rancho, NM). The platform is built as a traditional categorized web directory where logistics providers — including freight forwarders, trucking companies, ocean and air carriers, 3PLs, warehouses, and supply chain consultants — can submit company information into the LogisticsWorld Directory and be discovered via keyword or geographic search (LogisticsWorld GeoSearch™). Reference tools such as airline/airport/seaport codes, country profiles, customs broker listings, logistics acronyms, NAICS/SIC codes, harmonized tariff schedules, and world time zones sit alongside the directory as supporting utility features.

The business generates revenue from two related streams: (i) directory listings (companies entering their information for visibility) and (ii) customizable Internet Advertising Packages that let advertisers target the freight transportation, logistics, travel, tourism, and supply chain management vertical. Distribution is entirely web-based through the logisticsworld.com domain and a network of related web properties (loglink.com, loglink.net, logisticsworld.net, loggie.com, supplychainsites.com) that cross-promote one another. The platform also runs a free news publishing section where companies can post press releases, and it features two partner organizations — SOLE (International Society of Logistics) and Grey Beard Associates — as highlighted "Feature Services."

The underlying technology is a static-era web directory (search.asp-style URL structure visible in the source), with no disclosed API, no SDK, no integrations, no mobile app, and no AI/ML components. There are no disclosed employees beyond the sole proprietor, no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue. The copyright notice spanning 1995–2016 across trademarks (LogLink, LogisticsWorld, LogLink.Net, LogisticsWorld.Net, loggie.com, Supply Chain Sites, GeoSearch, Direct!, and the LogisticsWorld Directory mark) indicates a long-running but small-scale lifestyle business rather than a scaled, venture-backed operator.

Scale indicators2 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• FreightWaves: FreightWaves is a logistics-focused media, data, and SaaS company combining news, SONAR data, and a marketplace. It competes with Logistics World for logistics advertising dollars and reader attention, but with original content production and data products that Logistics World lacks.
• Yellow Pages (Thryv): Thryv (formerly YP/Yellow Pages) is a scaled SMB directory and advertising platform operating across all industries. It shares the directory-plus-advertising revenue model with Logistics World but at vastly greater scale and broader vertical coverage.
• Dun & Bradstreet: Dun & Bradstreet operates a global business directory and data platform that lists companies for buyer discovery. While it serves a different (broader) scope, the directory/advertising/data business model overlaps with Logistics World's core value proposition.
• DAT Freight & Analytics: DAT operates the largest North American freight load board and analytics platform, monetizing via subscriptions and advertising to brokers and carriers. It is a logistics-vertical platform with directory-like discovery functionality, but with vastly greater scale and depth.

Direct peers

• ThomasNet: ThomasNet is the leading industrial B2B directory, operating an advertising and listing model similar to Logistics World's logistics vertical directory. Both monetize via paid supplier listings and digital advertising packages to a niche professional buyer audience.
• Inbound Logistics: Inbound Logistics is a long-running logistics industry magazine that publishes directories of 3PLs, carriers, and technology providers alongside editorial content. It directly competes with Logistics World for logistics advertisers and reader attention in the same vertical.
• Kompass: Kompass is a global B2B directory with paid listing tiers and advertising, serving multi-country procurement audiences. It overlaps Logistics World in business model (directory + advertising) and global reach, though operating across all industries rather than logistics specifically.
• Transport Topics: Transport Topics is the leading trucking and freight industry media outlet, combining news, directories, and advertising. It is comparable to Logistics World as a logistics-vertical information and advertising destination for transportation decision-makers.
• AtoZdatabases: AtoZdatabases is a U.S. B2B directory that sells company listings, contact data, and advertising to marketing and sales professionals. It shares the directory/advertising business model with Logistics World but operates across all industries.

Emerging players

• Freightos: Freightos is a digital freight marketplace and rate-management platform that helps shippers discover and book carriers/freight forwarders online. It overlaps with Logistics World's 'connect shippers to logistics providers' value proposition but delivers it as a transactional marketplace rather than a static directory.
