Integrated Logistics Overview

An integrated logistics system (ILS) encompasses processes related to anticipating customer needs, acquiring resources to meet demands, and optimizing networks to fulfill requests. The essential areas of an ILS include warehouse management, transportation management, inventory management, real-time location systems, and reverse logistics. These systems work together to track goods, improve operations and accuracy, and manage the inbound and outbound flow of inventory. An ILS model demonstrates how these components are integrated across the supply chain network to efficiently fulfill customer orders.
