What is integrated logistics and how can it help you save costs?
Integrated logistics: a complete and cost-effective solution for your business
Outsourcing logistics services has become a key strategy for many companies that want to focus on their core activities without losing control of their supply chain. In this article, we explain what integrated logistics is, what benefits it brings, and how it can help you improve operational efficiency while significantly reducing costs.
What do we mean by integrated logistics?
Integrated logistics refers to a management model in which a specialized company globally assumes all logistics processes: from receiving goods, their storage and handling, to order preparation and distribution to the end customer.
In other words, it is a 360º service where you do not have to worry about the daily operations of transportation or distribution. This allows companies to delegate to professionals with experience and advanced technology, ensuring efficiency, traceability, and better customer service.
Adapted warehouses: the heart of integrated logistics
One of the pillars of an effective integrated logistics service is having versatile and well-equipped warehouses. At Transexport, we have our own facilities that offer:
- Ambient and refrigerated storage, with chambers at 5 °C and 15 °C.
- Picking and packing: preparation and packaging of customized orders.
- Cross Docking, for immediate redistribution of goods without storage.
- Custom pallet manufacturing.
- Local, national, and international logistics services.
These infrastructures allow us to manage sensitive products such as food, live plants, pharmaceuticals, or wine, ensuring they are preserved in the best conditions throughout the process.
Reduction of operational costs: one of the great benefits
One of the main reasons many companies opt for integrated logistics is the possibility of reducing costs. How do we achieve this?
- Avoiding the need for the company to maintain its own warehouses.
- Eliminating costs for logistics personnel, training, or software.
- Optimizing delivery routes and transport times.
- Reducing logistical errors and returns.
In short, fixed investments are replaced by variable costs, scalable according to the actual volume of activity.
Scalability and flexibility: keys to adapting to the market
Integrated logistics allows for scaling operational capacity without the need for major structural changes. Whether you need to prepare 50 orders in a day or if demand rises to 5,000, an experienced logistics company can adapt quickly.
This is especially useful during seasonal campaigns (Christmas, Black Friday, Mother’s Day, etc.), product launches, or entering new markets.
At Transexport, we work with companies of different sizes and sectors, offering flexible logistics solutions that adjust to their real needs at any moment.
Technology and traceability: total control of your goods
In an environment where immediacy and information are key, modern integrated logistics cannot do without technology. At Transexport, we apply management systems that allow:
- Real-time tracking of order status.
- Automatic notifications about deliveries and routes.
- Updated stock control.
- Integration with online stores or ERP of our clients.
This visibility and total traceability reduce incidents, improve end customer satisfaction, and allow for more accurate logistical decision-making.

- Optimize time and resources.
- Reduce fixed and operational costs.
