I'm going to have to go with strategic alliance. It's like outsourcing your logistics department, but with a fancy name.

Internal function? That's a strange choice. Outsourcing logistics is definitely an external activity.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be considered a joint venture because both parties work together to achieve common goals.

I agree with Detra, it's definitely a strategic alliance because it involves partnering with an external company for logistics.
