Faced with a market that is evolving at an unprecedented pace and demanding more sophisticated solutions, Solistica emerges as a transformational leader in the Latin American logistics industry. With more than 23,000 employees strategically distributed in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Latincentro, the company has evolved from a logistics service provider to a strategic partner that constantly reimagines the future of the supply chain.
The digital revolution in the supply chain
Solistica's digital transformation represents much more than a simple technology upgrade; it constitutes a complete reinvention of how logistics operations are managed. At the heart of this transformation is a sophisticated technology ecosystem that integrates world-class solutions. Oracle, for example, has revolutionized the way the company models its logistics networks, providing accurate what-if scenarios to find the best option in terms of time and cost. This system, recognized as a leader in warehouse management for seven consecutive years, has significantly optimized stock control and package movement.
The implementation of BlueYonder's Luminate™ Logistics marks another significant milestone in this transformation. As the industry's first platform based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, it enables Solistica to anticipate potential supply chain disruptions and take corrective action before problems materialize. This predictive approach has revolutionized the way the company manages its day-to-day operations.
The integration of Manhattan Active Supply Chain has taken operational efficiency to a new level. This system enables unprecedented harmonization between inbound and outbound workflows, maximizing the productivity of the resources involved. The platform offers a complete and detailed visualization of operations, enabling real-time adjustments that optimize every aspect of the logistics chain. (Blog - Solistica, Blog Solistica)
Sustainable innovation that transforms lives
Solistica's commitment to sustainability is embodied in innovative initiatives that are redefining industry standards. One outstanding example is the dry cleaning system implemented for its fleet in Colombia. This innovation reduces water consumption by an astounding 99.3%, using only 4 liters per vehicle compared to the hundreds required for traditional washing, and also incorporates biodegradable products that minimize environmental impact without compromising service quality.
In parallel, Green Box and Credo Cube technology represents a significant advance in sustainable cold chain management. These solutions, which rigorously comply with Invima and ICA standards, have transformed the way temperature-sensitive products are transported. The system eliminates the need for disposable plastic coolers, while incorporating a sophisticated real-time monitoring system via Bluetooth, guaranteeing the integrity of the products throughout the entire journey.
Transforming Human Talent: The Heart of Innovation
The real driving force behind Solistica's success lies in its commitment to human talent development. During 2023, the company has implemented a comprehensive wellness strategy that has benefited more than 25,385 employees and their families. This comprehensive approach includes innovative training programs that have accumulated more than 233,148 hours of training in critical areas such as sustainability, safety, and leadership.
An outstanding example of this commitment is the "We are all salespeople" program, an innovative initiative that brought together professionals from diverse areas such as commercial, procurement, operations and human resources. This program improved the commercial skills of the participants, and strengthened the culture of collaboration and teamwork, creating vital strategic connections for the future of the organization.

Customized solutions for a demanding market
Solistica's ability to tailor its services to the specific needs of each client is evident in flagship projects such as the recent collaboration with Johnson & Johnson. This project, implemented at the Siberia Business Park, demonstrates the sophistication of the company's logistics solutions. The facility includes a temperature control room with a range of 15 to 25°C, relative humidity control of 60% +/- 5%, and an innovative three-level mezzanine system for picking operations.
The implementation of these specialized solutions improves operational efficiency, ensuring the integrity of sensitive products throughout the logistics process. The success of this project underscores Solistica's ability to execute complex logistics transformations while maintaining the highest quality standards. (Blog - Solistica, Blog - Solistica)
Leadership in environmental sustainability
Solistica's commitment to sustainability goes beyond corporate statements. The company has implemented concrete initiatives that are transforming the logistics industry. In Mexico, for example, it has managed to recycle 743.15 tons of paper and cardboard during 2023, while in Brazil, the reuse of 457,000 liters of water for washing vehicles demonstrates a tangible commitment to resource conservation.
Juan Carlos Castro, Solistica's General Manager for Colombia, emphasizes that sustainability must be integrated into the core of the business: "A project cannot be only environmental, because if it does not work economically, it will not be sustainable". This vision has led the company to develop solutions such as Green Box, which reduces environmental impact and generates significant competitive advantages.

Acknowledgements and certifications: validation of commitment
Solistica's safety and sustainability efforts have been widely recognized by the industry. Winning the ANTP's National Road Safety Award and the Clean Transportation Award for the tenth consecutive time are testimony to its leadership in these critical areas. In Colombia, the company has received three recognitions for environmental excellence, while in Brazil, the Green Seal awarded by the São Paulo Environment Secretariat validates its commitment to environmental preservation.

By 2024-2025, Solistica plans to significantly expand its electric charging infrastructure and continue to innovate in eco-friendly materials. The company is strengthening its strategic alliances and expanding its community development programs, demonstrating that sustainability is a long-term commitment that goes beyond environmental metrics.
As Juan Carlos Castro points out, "Today more than ever we are ready to challenge existing models, to review and understand hand in hand with our clients the new market strategies that will allow us to continue moving forward together, leading sustainable practices that guarantee the sustained and responsible growth of the sector."
