Have you ever wondered what really happens to your products from the time they leave the factory until they reach their final destination? Every shipment tells a story of challenges and opportunities. And it's precisely on this journey where technology is radically changing the way we protect what matters most: your valuable cargo.
Our region, awarded with strategic locations for global trade, also faces unique challenges that directly impact your business. Logistics corridors such as the Mexican Bajío or the Andean region open doors to trade, but they also present vulnerabilities that we must face together.
According to World Bank data, the logistics cost in Latin America can exceed 15% of the total value of the merchandise. This percentage, considerably higher than in other regions, reflects a reality that directly affects your competitiveness and profitability.
"Security in logistics management has a direct impact on business competitiveness, becoming a strategic element for those of us who seek to stand out in the market," explains Manuel Rodriguez, Director of Operations at Solistica. "It's not just about protecting products, but building trust with each customer." (Blog - Solistica)
Challenges that put your goods at risk: Are you really protected?
Knowing the risks is the first step in dealing with them effectively. Your supply chain is exposed to constantly evolving threats:
Unguarded stretches of highway represent high-risk areas, especially on busy commercial routes. The National Association of Private Transport (ANTP) has documented a worrying increase in these incidents, with losses that affect your pocket and the continuity of your operation.
What many do not consider is that approximately 30% of security incidents have some internal connection. Information about routes, schedules, and type of cargo can be leaked if you don't have the proper controls in place.
"Each distribution center hides a particular universe of risks that we must systematically identify and control," says Carolina Martinez, a specialist in logistics security. "The difference between a successful operation and a crisis may lie in the ability to adopt technology that really responds to these specific challenges." (Blog - The Logistics World)
Fortunately, we are in the era of digital logistics transformation, where every challenge can become an opportunity to strengthen your operation. Innovations that are changing the game include:
Modern tracking systems indicate where your cargo is, they also analyze driving patterns, detect anomalies and predict potential risks before they occur. This real-time visibility allows you to make informed decisions immediately.
"We implement technologies such as logistics control towers that provide complete visibility of the supply chain, allowing you to react to any unforeseen event with agility and precision," says José Luis Sánchez, Technology Innovation leader.
Cameras equipped with recognition and analysis systems detect suspicious behavior, verify the correct handling of your cargo and ensure that only authorized personnel have access to your products. AI is transforming passive surveillance into proactive protection. (Blog - Solistica)
At Solistica, we understand that security is not a constant commitment backed by international certifications and cutting-edge technology. Our philosophy integrates:
Our Intelligence Center operates 24/7 with comprehensive systems that monitor every aspect of your cargo. We detect anomalies before they become problems and adapt security protocols according to the specific risk level of your merchandise.
Our commitment to your safety is backed by certifications such as ISO 28000:2008 for supply chain security management and the Gold Seal of Approval for Good Road Safety Practices. These accreditations are not just documents, but tangible guarantees that your cargo is in the best hands.
"Certifications are the reflection of constant work to exceed the most demanding standards in the market," explains Ana María Gutiérrez, Quality Manager. "Each certification represents a renewed commitment to operational excellence that directly impacts the safety of your merchandise." (Blog - Solistica)
The implementation of these strategies has truly changed logistics security. Between 2016 and 2017, we achieved:
"These results are the consequence of a comprehensive approach where each implemented technology is part of a larger strategy: the complete protection of your supply chain," says Pedro Vasquez, Director of Security. (Blog - Solistica)
The technological revolution in logistics security is just beginning. At Solistica, we are constantly investing in research and development to stay ahead of the curve:
Emerging technologies we already implement.
Our Integrated Management System (IMS) policies combine safety, quality and environmental impact mitigation. This integrated approach ensures that the protection of your goods goes hand in hand with sustainable practices that benefit the entire community. (Blog - Solistica)
The logistics landscape will continue to transform with transformative technologies:
Seventy-five percent of companies plan to expand their facilities and 73% will invest in equipment by 2025. The question is not whether we should innovate, but how to do it strategically to maximize the protection of each shipment, our specialists explain. (Blog - Solistica)
