Imagine a world where the products you use every day arrive in your hands just when you need them, in perfect condition and at the best possible price. Behind this apparent simplicity lies a complex logistics development that Solistica has been perfecting for more than two decades. Having an ally that understands the rhythms and specific needs of your industry is essential to survive and stand out.
The Consumer Industry: The Silent Engine of our Economy
Have you ever wondered how that shampoo gets into your bathroom or that refreshing drink into your refrigerator? FMCG products are our everyday companions. These items, which we buy frequently and consume quickly, present a fascinating logistical challenge.
The consumer industry encompasses those products that practically fly off the shelves: from the food that nourishes your family to the cleaning products that keep your home spotless. These products spend little time on the shelves due to their high demand or short expiration dates, creating a scenario where speed and logistical precision are indispensable. (Blog Mecalux)
The logistics puzzle: Challenges we turn into opportunities.
Think about the last supermarket you visited. Each perfectly placed product represents a triumph over logistical challenges. FMCG companies face truly titanic challenges:
- Time as the enemy: When you handle products that expire quickly, every hour counts. Companies need systems that keep products moving constantly.
- Ever-increasing expectations: Your customers no longer expect delivery in "3-5 business days"-they want their products now, and rightly so.
- Transparency as a requirement: Today, we can track a cab in real time, so why shouldn't we be able to follow the journey of our food from the field to our table?
- The art of adaptation: Imagine reconfiguring your entire logistics operation because a major customer decided to change his plans... at the last minute!
Companies must be agile to remain competitive in this environment where e-commerce radically changes the rules of the game. (Blog - Beetrack)

The Food Service Story: From frustration to leadership.
When Food Service faced the challenge of distributing food and beverages throughout Mexico's diverse geography, they weren't just looking to transport products-they wanted to transform their business. With distribution centers from Cancun to Tijuana, their traditional operation had become a constraint to their growth.
We used to spend 5 to 6 hours a day just planning routes, depending entirely on the local knowledge of our employees, says a company executive. After implementing advanced technological solutions, that time was reduced to just 2 hours-a 70% decrease that freed up resources for strategic activities.
The numbers speak for themselves:
- Each route now serves up to 2 additional customers.
- Delivery accuracy increased significantly
- Customer satisfaction reached historic levels
As the Food Service team proudly points out, this transformation optimized our operations, redefining what it means to be a leader in food and beverage distribution in Mexico. (Blog - Beetrack)
The future is already here: Are you ready?
The logistics horizon is changing by leaps and bounds. FAO forecasts a 70% increase in global food production by 2050, which will pose unprecedented logistical challenges. Companies that prepare today will lead tomorrow.
The technological revolution is already underway:
- Systems that think for you: Intelligent shelving that automatically manages inventory.
- Automation that unlocks human potential: Conveyors that connect docks and racks, allowing your associates to focus on higher-value tasks.
- Software that predicts the future: Advanced tools that anticipate demands before they materialize.
This articulation of human experience and intelligent technology is creating a new world in mass consumer logistics. The question is not whether it will happen, but who will be prepared to take advantage of it. ( Blog - Mecalux)
