This results in seamless operations and ensures that customer orders are dispatched quickly.
As logistics involves several departments, the integrated model emphasizes the need for teamwork to optimize performance. Cross-functional collaboration also gives companies a competitive advantage and helps them adapt quickly to changes in consumer demand.

In all honesty, logistics can be overwhelming. Typically, when businesses need to transport their product from one place to another, logistics can be a very complicated task to tackle. From factory to customer, a business usually needs to juggle different providers for the different steps of their supply chain. Airfreight, ocean freight, inland, sometimes all of them combined. Every piece more fragile and complicated than the other. Then, the paperwork, which seems infinite and never correct. Then local customs.
With truly integrated logistics, instead of all this, a provider would be able to bring a container directly to the production centre, where they can be loaded, then pick it up and proceed to take care of the entire journey, including the bureaucracy associated with it such as export paperwork, customs, etc.
A truly integrated provider brings value for business. It helps drive change, eliminating complexity, making businesses resilient for today and tomorrow. It co-creates with a kind of partnership that can save effort, cost, and that on top ensures the end-to-end process is as sustainable as it can be, using the latest innovation. This process can generate real value, taking advantage of digital services that can assist throughout the entire operational supply chain, guided by insightful knowledge on always-changing industry trends.

Integrated logistics[1] support (ILS) is a technology in the system engineering to lower a product life cycle cost and decrease demand for logistics by the maintenance system optimization to ease the product support. Although originally developed for military purposes, it is also widely used in commercial customer service organisations.[2]
In general, ILS plans and directs the identification and development of logistics support and system requirements for military systems, with the goal of creating systems that last longer and require less support, thereby reducing costs and increasing return on investments. ILS therefore addresses these aspects of supportability not only during acquisition, but also throughout the operational life cycle of the system. The impact of ILS is often measured in terms of metrics such as reliability, availability, maintainability and testability (RAMT), and sometimes System Safety (RAMS).
ILS is the integrated planning and action of a number of disciplines in concert with one another to assure system availability. The planning of each element of ILS is ideally developed in coordination with the system engineering effort and with each other. Tradeoffs may be required between elements in order to acquire a system that is: affordable (lowest life cycle cost), operable, supportable, sustainable, transportable, and environmentally sound. In some cases, a deliberate process of Logistics Support Analysis will be used to identify tasks within each logistics support element.
Decisions are documented in a life cycle sustainment plan (LCSP), a Supportability Strategy, or (most commonly) an Integrated Logistics Support Plan (ILSP). ILS planning activities coincide with development of the system acquisition strategy, and the program will be tailored accordingly. A properly executed ILS strategy will ensure that the requirements for each of the elements of ILS are properly planned, resourced, and implemented. These actions will enable the system to achieve the operational readiness levels required by the warfighter at the time of fielding and throughout the life cycle.[3][4] ILS can be also used for civilian projects, as highlighted by the ASD/AIA ILS Guide.[5]
