In The News - Navigating Cross-Border Logistics: Challenges and Strategic Insights

In the evolving landscape of cross-border logistics, companies face a myriad of challenges that impact the efficiency and reliability of supply chains. From heightened border inspections to the persistent threat of cargo theft, these issues demand strategic responses.

A recent article by T21 delves into these pressing concerns, highlighting the experiences of industry leaders like Jessica Solís of Redwood México. Solís emphasizes the complexities introduced by intensified border checks, which, while aimed at curbing illicit activities, often result in significant delays for legitimate freight movements.

Cargo theft remains one of the most pressing threats to logistics operations in Mexico, with violent incidents making up the majority of reported cases. In response, logistics providers are doubling down on risk prevention—mapping out high-risk zones, pre-approving secure rest stops, and deploying real-time visibility tools to keep freight protected every step of the way.

But it’s not just about security. True resilience in cross-border operations hinges on connected systems. While the tech is available, the real challenge lies in creating seamless integration between platforms and aligning every stakeholder—from shippers to customs agents—around shared data and visibility.
