Capillary transport: How to achieve perfect delivery in proximity channels
Logista has the best network for capillary transport services.
Capillary transport is key in logistics processes because it is the last stage of the distribution chain. With the increase in B2B and B2C deliveries, it is also more important to provide a good service, which is why having a leading partner for shipments and for managing returns is fundamental. This is where Logista and its subsidiaries provide added value in the geographical areas where we operate. Below, we explain how this is achieved.
What is capillary transport
Capillary transport is the logistics process consisting of distribution of goods from a distribution centre or warehouse to the point of sale or final customer, covering what is commonly known as the last mile.
This phase is critical within the supply chain, since it involves high operational complexity due to the geographical dispersion of recipients, the handling of various types of products (especially those requiring special conditions, such as perishable products) and increasing customer expectations in terms of delivery times and flexibility.
The importance of capillary transport
in proximity channels
Capillary transport in proximity channels is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction. Below we highlight some key aspects:
● Punctuality. It is vital to work with a transport provider that is committed to delivering shipments on time.
● Preservation. In proximity channels, the shipment of perishable or temperature-controlled products requires the physical and technological means necessary to maintain the cold chain from collection to delivery. Specialist transport ensures that these products are kept at a controlled temperature and distributed appropriately.
● Complete coverage. Last mile transport brings goods and products closer to B2B points of sale, but also to the home customer.
At Logista we are leaders in the national and international transport of temperature-controlled goods, specialising in the pharmaceutical and food sectors. Logista is a guarantee of efficiency and quality.

Capillary transport in integrated logistics
In the context of integrated logistics, capillary transport must be done using all possible means, but also with reliable monitoring methodologies for resolving incidents.
A good network infrastructure, real-time tracking technologies, as well as a fleet of vehicles that is flexible, renewed and adapted to circulate in cities while limiting environmental impact, are essential. Moreover, land, sea or air transport services can be combined to reach proximity channels.
How is real-time monitoring implemented? Logista has a control policy that measures journey times and fuel consumption in order to reduce them. Continuous improvement is one of the company's maxims so as to satisfy its customers.
To ensure efficient and worry-free distribution, it is crucial to have a partner who has mastered every stage of the logistics process. Logista, with the most complete value chain on the market, guarantees total control from receipt to final delivery, including after-sales. The products thus arrive at their destination smoothly, while the company takes care of all the bureaucratic formalities.
