Logistics Management magazine

What Logistics Management magazine does

Logistics Management is a U.S.-based B2B trade publication founded in 1962 and operated by Peerless Media from Framingham, Massachusetts. It covers logistics and supply chain management for industry professionals across transportation (air, motor, ocean, rail, parcel, ports), warehousing, technology (cloud, IoT, robotics, software, TMS), global trade, and 3PL services. The publication's core product is its flagship print and digital magazine, complemented by topic-segmented email newsletters, the Logistics Management Podcast distributed across Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and RSS, an on-demand webinar library, white papers and special reports, and the NextGen Supply Chain Conference.

The platform is organized around 30+ topic categories on logisticsmgmt.com and operates long-running proprietary research franchises including the annual State of Logistics report (currently in its 37th edition) and the Quest for Quality Awards (42nd edition), the latter drawing more than 3,017 survey responses. Revenue is generated primarily through channel sponsorships (Yang Ming, COSCO Shipping, Averitt, JAXPORT, Datamyte) and advertising across sponsored topic verticals, with secondary income from gated white papers, premium research, and the annual conference. Magazine and newsletter subscriptions are free to qualified logistics professionals, consistent with a freemium media model. Logistics Management is part of a broader Peerless Media portfolio that includes Modern Materials Handling, Supply Chain Management Review, Material Handling 24/7, Supply Chain 24/7, and Robotics 24/7.
