Integrated transport logistics and integrated transportation services often are the last link in the commercial enterprise and just as often bring the most headaches. Building and maintaining an integrated logistics information system requires full time supervision. Hiring the staff to operate the trucks and manage the packaging is a whole other bailiwick in integrated transportation systems.

Global integrated logistics present an entirely new set of priorities to move your goods to and from your vendors and customers. Integrated logistics companies are by definition a solution that can remove all your integrated logistics services and integrated logistics support from your plate and free you up to concentrate on your core business.

1. Utilize an integrated transportation systems firm to move goods

2. Expand overseas with global integrated logistics companies

3. Turn over all of your supply chain to an integrated transportation logistics business


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Let management handle the paperwork with outside integrated logistics support


Putting all your integrated logistics management in the hands of a consultant or outside integrated logistics companies may be more than you need or want. You still can mange your integrated logistics systems with the actual transportation outsourced to an integrated transportation services firm.

I recommend: You can get a quote for integrated transportation logistics from Koch in less than an hour online. Compare rates for integrated transportation services from more than 60 shippers at ShippingQuotes.org.

Turn to global integrated logistics experts when you go international


While you may have developed a good in-house regional integrated logistics, maneuvering through international markets requires an entirely new set of skills. What with export rules and regulations, coupled with laws that vary drastically in various countries, you should consider outsourcing your global integrated logistics.

I recommend: Establish United Logistics Group offers complete integrated logistics solutions and advice nationally and internationally. JB Hunt is a provider of global integrated logistics.

Develop a relationship for all your integrated logistics services


Leave the entire process to an integrated logistics management company that serves your industry. Integrated logistics companies are set up to handle all your procurement and delivery needs. You can make the entire integrated logistics support system through a one-stop shop and either eliminate an entire internal department or free up staff for other important internal operations that can't be outsourced.

I recommend: ITLX provides integrated logistics services from procurement to fleet services and transportation management. INFOR is a complete supply chain management company that understand inventory supply and delivery imperatives. They have global experience to manage your product from beginning to end.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Meet with the actual managers who will handle your integrated logistics solutions before signing any contracts, rather than just the salesperson or company principles. Your day-to-day operations will depend on a good relationship on the ground.
