Controlling logistics execution across computer applications

摘要

A method for controlling logistics and a computer program product for performing the method are provided. The method includes a macro-logistics control component for triggering multiple micro-logistic components to perform a series of logistics operations, where the series of logistics operations form an integrated logistic process to perform a particular business transaction for a product recipient. The method also includes a first micro-logistics component of the multiple micro-logistic components for causing logistics data to be processed in a manner that is applicable to many different business enterprises. A first indication to perform a first macro-logistic operation is sent to the first micro-logistics component, and a second indication to perform a second macro-logistic operation is sent to a second micro-logistic component.
