Latin America’s Development Bank – previously known as Corporación Andina de Fomento— supports the region’s countries in developing projects related to their domestic logistics systems. This is how the Regional Logistics’ Development Program for Latin America (CAF-LOGRA, for its acronym in Spanish) came to be. This program aims to identify, analyze, promote, carry out, and advance projects that contribute to the competitive performance and development of these systems.
Green logistics, also known as environmental logistics, refers to the sustainable policies and measures focusing on lowering the impact logistics has on the environment. This includes the configuration of processes, structures, systems, and equipment used in the transportation, distribution, and warehousing of goods.
The priority for manufacturers and wholesalers these days should be focusing on digital transformation and embracing technology to help improve their efficiency in the short- and long-terms and be more competitive in the market.
It is a fact: we have entered a new era. It is not enough anymore to have systems connecting with each other and with the world at large. To keep up with this decade, companies must use technological solutions that provide information, improve the processes, and give better results.
