Solistica consolidates its international operations under a sole brand that goes further than just meeting your delivery needs: it provides a service of excellence and creates value for clients through flexible and innovative solutions in Latin America.
Logistics companies Expresso Jundiai — leader in handling pharmaceutical, electronic, and textile products — and Atlas Transporte & Logística — which has excellent coverage by land and air — merged with Solistica in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Since then, this transformation has allowed us to implement logistics solutions on the supply chains of clients with operations throughout Brazil.
The innovative technology used by Solistica to manage supply chains makes the logistics of its clients more profitable because it is supplemented with the elements that are essential for logistics: human talent, infrastructure, and processes.
Solistica, which is known for understanding supply chains as a transformational effort, is the result of the merger of leading logistics companies Zimag in Mexico, Expresso Jundiai and Atlas in Brazil, and Open Market in Colombia. This merger has allowed the company to replicate efficient planning, warehousing, transportation, distribution, and value-added strategies in seven Latin American countries.
Solistica currently employs over 21,000 people and serves more than 2,500 clients in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and the United States. The company has established alliances with 7,500 strategic partners and owns more than 440,000 square meters of warehousing space to carry out the logistics operations of clients from industries as varied as health, electronics, textile, home, personal hygiene, food, beverages, and automotive spare parts.
Thanks to this transformation, Brazilian clients have improved their supply chains by hiring some of these services:
- Transportation: administration of FTL and LTL fleets, including meeting the delivery windows, offering visibility of cargo, providing reports for operational indicators, managing the cold chain, offering multimodal transportation, providing connectivity via information technologies, designing special routes, and designing specialized vehicles. In addition, as a differentiated service, it offers domestic express air cargo for conventional, urgent, and personal deliveries thanks to the partnerships it has established with all the air cargo lines, which have the necessary valid permits and licenses, specialized equipment, and options to keep track of cargoes.
- Distribution: Consolidation of orders according to the specific requirements of each cargo, including coverage, meeting the delivery windows, visibility, proof of delivery, risk management, cold chain management, inventoried deliveries, cross docking, and careful consideration of which products can share space.
- Multimodal Solutions: Adequate solutions for each stage of the supply chain and means of transportation, including a vast array of services for distribution by land; rail transportation in Mexico, the United States, and Canada; sea transportation with the main shipping lines; containerized, RoRo, and bulk cargoes; transportation of full container loads and less than container loads; air parcel and air cargo; customs brokerage and warehousing included in the proposal; and visibility of the multimodal chain.
- Warehousing: Handling of merchandise and control of inventories, including coverage; dedicated or multiple-client facilities; dry or multiple-temperature warehouses; handling of high-value goods or with special requirements; inventory management systems; connectivity via information technologies; control of inventories; flexibility for schedules and operators; and bonded warehouse.
- Value-Added: Services that add value such as manufacturing; labelling; packaging; kitting; validation; reverse logistics; refurbishing; and palletizing.
- International Logistics: Global transportation of cargoes via a network of strategic partners, including door-to-door service; management and execution of multimodal transportation; containerized, RoRo, or bulk cargoes; cold chain management; customs brokerage and procedures with official agencies; optimization of the supply chain; visibility of cargo; and administrative and operational simplification.
