Distribution & Retail Logistics

A distribution center at the center of Mexico for supplying retail points nationwide, with a cross-docking platform and intermodal connection.

Sector challenges

  • Supplying scattered retail points at different frequencies
  • Consolidating freight from multiple suppliers into one shipment
  • Holding service levels without inflating inventory
  • Absorbing commercial seasons without carrying fixed cost all year

Storage requirements

  • A location at the center of the country
  • A cross-docking platform for destination-based sorting
  • A space model that follows seasonality
  • Inventory visibility

A distribution center is chosen on geometry before price. What decides it is where the shortest transit times to most of the retail points originate — and that calculation almost always points to the center of the country.

The two geographies

San Luis Potosíthe logistics development at the center of Mexico; the ideal distribution center for national coverage. It sits on the intersection of the corridors that move freight: Highway 57 toward Laredo and toward Piedras Negras and the Lázaro Cárdenas — Laredo rail line, next to the KCSM intermodal terminal.

Querétarothe logistics development of the Bajío; the ideal distribution center for reaching Mexico City and Puebla, with Mexico City two hours away by road and the Intercontinental Airport alongside.

Replenish without storing

For retail replenishment, freight already knows its destination on arrival. A trip through the rack only adds days. The cross-docking platform organizes and sorts it by destination and dispatches it directly.

The usual pattern is to combine: cross-docking for replenishment, 3PL/4PL from 500 m² for backup inventory, and flexible rental to absorb commercial seasons.

Preparing for each channel

Every retail chain specifies its own label format and its own pallet configuration. The value-added services catalog covers labeling, packaging, palletizing and special loading and unloading operations.
