Insight

The hidden cost of logistics in Mexico

Logistics stopped being a cost center and became the core of competitive advantage. In developed economies like the US, logistics cost runs around 8% of sales; in Latin America it ranges from 18% to 32%, depending on the sector. That gap is exactly what a well-outsourced operation can close.

Average logistics cost by sector in Mexico

Construction	31%	High volume, extreme weight, and non-consolidable transport.
Food & perishables	27%	Cold chain, expiration dates, and shrinkage control.
Technology & e-commerce	8%–25%	Urban density and high last-mile cost.
Consumer goods (FMCG)	8%–14%	High exposure to fines for missed appointment windows (OTIF).

The OTIF standard modern retail demands

Chains like Walmart or Amazon require 98% OTIF (On Time In Full) compliance. Any failure in volume, accuracy, or punctuality can trigger automatic penalties of up to 3% of the purchase order value — 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 OR-Tools 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.
