The Importance of Strategic Warehousing in Mexico City
for Fast and Proximal Deliveries
Mexico City, with its vast expanse and central role in the national economy, presents both a challenge and a unique opportunity for companies seeking to optimize their logistics processes, particularly in last-mile and middle-mile deliveries. In this context, the selection of an appropriate storage space becomes a critical factor in ensuring business success.
The Significance of Last-Mile and Middle-Mile Logistics
The last mile, which refers to the final leg of product delivery to the customer, is one of the most critical and costly links in the logistics chain. In a city as congested and complex as Mexico City, deliveries can be severely impacted by factors such as traffic, distances, and accessibility to densely populated urban areas. It is estimated that 53% of the total delivery cost is generated in the last mile, due to the significant time and resources required to deliver the product to the end customer.
Conversely, the middle mile, which involves the transportation of goods from major distribution centers to smaller local warehouses, also presents challenges, particularly in terms of delivery times and the ability to respond to market demand.
Logistical Challenges in Mexico City
Currently, delivery times within Mexico City vary significantly depending on the warehouse location and traffic congestion. Recent data indicates that the average last-mile delivery time within the city can range from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the point of origin and destination. This underscores the need for strategically located storage spaces that can help reduce these times and improve operational efficiency.
