Warehousing

Global companies selling products to the Latin American markets need a warehousing and distribution strategy that enables them to be responsive to customer orders, while keeping costs to a minimum. 

Unfortunately, many companies choose to support their Latin American operations from facilities outside of Latin America. With inventory stored far away from the customer and in many cases paying taxes and additional logistics costs, this strategy is not responsive or cost-effective.

Another bad warehousing strategy companies use is locating distribution centers in every Latin American country where they have sales. This strategy is responsive to customer orders, but the cost of operating in every country along with the additional inventory carrying costs is usually a loser.

Outsourcing Warehousing and Distribution to a Regional Distribution Center, like IPL Group is the Right Strategy for the Following Reasons:

• IPL Group is based in Panama, which means your product inventory is stored close to the customer. Since the inventory is in the region, your customer in Latin America gets faster service and your company saves on transportation costs – both a cost-effective and responsive solution.
