Integres Story

Facing the Challenge of Transportation Logistics
The highly fragmented $50 billion domestic and international expedited, heavy freight transportation industry is struggling to meet increased demands from shippers, while addressing the traditional problems of service failures, shipment delays, and errors due to incompatible methods of communication. Internal and external market forces are irrevocably changing the airfreight shipping industry, and transportation logistics suppliers must change to remain relevant.

With the advent of just-in-time inventory and supply chain management strategies, companies are working to keep inventories low, replenishing supplies on an as-needed basis. As trade barriers continue to fall, companies can source materials and sell products globally, increasing the demand for reliable and competitively priced shipment delivery services and options. Advancements in information technology are facilitating efficient supply chain management, with the Internet being the platform that brings trading partners together. Transportation management has become a powerful, competitive weapon, and shippers are increasingly demanding single-source, time-definite, door-to-door solutions that are affordable and reliable. Transportation industry deregulation has spawned consolidation among expedited shipping carriers, and newly consolidated companies can leverage assets and technology to create new, competitively priced shipping services and product offerings.
