Logistics Expansion Beyond the Rio-SP Axis: New Opportunities and Challenges

The growing demand for logistics in other regions of Brazil

The logistics market has grown considerably in large capitals, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. However, other regions of the country have also gained space in this sector. Logistics condominiums have been consolidated in states such as Minas Gerais, Goiás, Santa Catarina and Paraná.

The logistics operator Temp Log, with 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, has expanded its operations beyond São Paulo, meeting growing demands in the South, Midwest and Northeast of Brazil.

The expansion is mainly due to the tax benefits that laboratories and importers receive for importing medicines and other health products. Temp Log is able to deliver in up to 3 business days to more than 2.300 municipalities, departing from the state of São Paulo, and has expanded its operations to meet deliveries originating in other states, such as Paraná.

Possible changes and expansions to the Temp Log

Faced with the constant increase in volume, Temp Log is considering the possibility of establishing advanced points in other states and expanding operations with regional partners. This change would allow for greater control of both collections and routing.

In addition to transport services, some customers also seek storage in other regions, mainly due to the lack of licensed companies with the expected quality.

Logistics challenges in regions outside the Rio-SP axis

Expanding logistics activities to other regions brings challenges, such as matching quality with the best financial conditions and delivery times. Another challenge is the cost issue.

Due to the difficulty of the region's air or road network, companies often need to add an extra stretch to the route, raising costs for all parties involved.

Despite the challenges, Temp Log sees positive prospects and is increasingly seeking to enter new projects as part of its growth plan. The expansion of logistics beyond the Rio-SP axis not only offers business opportunities, but also contributes to regional development and the reduction of inequalities between the different regions of the country.
