Logistics stopped being a cost center and became the core of competitive advantage. In Latin America, logistics weighs on sales far more than in developed economies, and the weight changes by sector. That gap is exactly what a well-outsourced operation can close.
What drives logistics cost in each sector in Mexico
| Construction | High volume, extreme weight, and non-consolidable transport. |
|---|---|
| Food & perishables | Cold chain, expiration dates, and shrinkage control. |
| Technology & e-commerce | Urban density and high last-mile cost. |
| Consumer goods (FMCG) | High exposure to fines for missed appointment windows (OTIF). |
The OTIF standard modern retail demands
Modern retail requires OTIF (On Time In Full) compliance. Any failure in volume, accuracy, or punctuality can trigger penalties — a direct hit to the supplier's profitability.
How Silodisa responds
Multimodal infrastructure
DCs in key corridors with a rail spur (GMXT) and NOM-059 compliance for cold chain and health products.
uRoutes ecosystem
WMS with smart putaway and FIFO/FEFO; TMS with route planning to minimize empty kilometers and protect OTIF.
Offline-first mobility
POD and POF captured in the field without relying on cellular coverage — evidence ready for audit.
Outsourcing this complexity turns fixed costs (CapEx) into variable ones (OpEx): it frees working capital and leadership focus for sales, marketing, and market expansion.
