Echo Global Logistics has consolidated its recent acquisitions, ITS Logistics and Roadtex, into a single, unified business unit. The new North American Supply Chain Solutions Suite streamlines operations by integrating warehousing, distribution, and transportation services.
Why it matters
The merger allows shippers to replace fragmented vendor networks with a single logistics partner, aiming to simplify supply chain management. By combining these entities, Echo Global Logistics seeks to offer more comprehensive end-to-end transportation and fulfillment solutions.
The unified logistics network includes 40 warehousing facilities spanning 8 million square feet of space. The integration leverages Roadtex's 30 years of food-grade service experience to reach 85% of the contiguous U.S. with next-day service.

Market Landscape
This move follows the broader industry trend of 3PL consolidation, where providers acquire and integrate regional players to scale national capacity. It positions Echo Global Logistics to compete more effectively against major firms by offering a single point of entry for complex logistics.
Customers who previously managed separate contracts for Roadtex and ITS Logistics may now access services through a single provider. This transition aims to simplify shipping workflows and potentially reduce administrative burdens for companies managing national distribution.
