Integrated logistics is the management of all activities involved in physically acquiring, moving and storing raw materials, in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory from the point of origin to the point of consumption.

With an integrated solution, activities are viewed as a system rather than disparate functions. Ryder simultaneously manages the flow of materials, currency and information from order management, warehouse management, transportation management to reverse logistics. The key to successful integrated logistics solutions is real-time and accurate information to provide visibility throughout the entire network.
