Integrated Logistics
There are four factors which depend upon the goods flowing quickly, smoothly and safely along the way from their origin to the end customer: fast transport, efficient logistics at the interfaces, optimum communication and a concept which binds these components in a meaningful way. If you have a partner for all these four areas who accepts complete responsibility for the optimization of the whole process, then you have probably chosen The Waco System  and "Integrated Logistics".

1) What advantages does Integrated Logistics

State-of-the-art information technology makes it possible to control nearly all the processes automatically, which e.g. start with the ordering of goods: goods are produced according to customer requirements in the manufacturing companies, while the transport is already being organized and the parts to be packed as well as the dispatch papers are being prepared in the commissioning warehouse. At the same time the customer electronically receives confirmation of the exact delivery date. Without integrated logistics these steps would simply follow one another with the appropriate breaks which would be unavoidable! Integrated Logistics ensures that the processes smoothly engage with each other, thereby avoiding unnecessary delays.
