How to Play Logistics Inc

Ever dreamed of turning a tiny delivery startup into a globe-spanning shipping empire? Logistics Inc lets you do just that, right in your browser. This online idle game challenges you to build a business from the ground up, starting with just five employees, ten bucks, and a single bicycle. Every decision, from hiring staff to researching new technology, is yours to make in this in-depth management simulation.

Your journey begins on a simple screen with a bicycle line, a handful of employees, and a small amount of cash. Click the "BUY 1" button to purchase your first bike. Orders will immediately start appearing. To get things moving, click the plus sign in the Staff column to assign a worker to the bike. A staffed vehicle completes deliveries and earns money; an empty one is just for show.

Bikes are just the beginning. Reinvest your profits to expand your fleet. After purchasing 5 of a single vehicle type, you'll unlock the next tier: vans, trucks, planes, and eventually, massive ships. Purchase at least one of each new vehicle type as you unlock it. Be mindful that larger vehicles like planes and ships require more than one worker to operate, so balance your expansion with your hiring.

Your employees are the engine of your company. Assigning them to vehicles speeds up deliveries, but placing them in support departments is key to long-term growth. Your first strategic move should be to assign a worker to the HR panel. This department will automatically and freely recruit new staff over time. For faster growth, unlock the Contractors upgrade in the R&D tree to hire staff instantly for cash.

R&D is where you unlock game-changing efficiencies. Staff assigned here don't generate direct income but their work unlocks powerful upgrades that slash costs, boost HR speed, and improve marketing. Investing in R&D early, especially in upgrades like Efficiency or Improved HR, will significantly accelerate your progress across the entire game.

An idle fleet is a profit-killer. The Marketing department ensures you always have a steady stream of orders. Open the Marketing Strategy window and assign staff to different vehicle types. Each marketer adds an order bonus, keeping your queues full and your revenue climbing. A balanced marketing strategy across your vehicle lines will keep your entire operation running smoothly.

Vehicles break down with use, slowing your entire operation. Once unlocked via R&D, the Vehicle Maintenance department allows you to hire mechanics. Assign them to different vehicle types to keep them running at 100% speed. Mechanics need training to work on more advanced vehicles, but upskilling them takes just a few seconds and is crucial for maintaining your high-tier fleet.

As your company grows, use the purchase multipliers (x1, x10, MAX) at the top of the board to buy vehicles in bulk. The ultimate goal is to create a perfectly optimized logistics machine with no idle staff, full order queues, and a constantly spinning money counter. Logistics Inc. is crafted by Kodiqi.
