Press - Xabi Azarloza, In Side Logistics: «The market is looking for more flexibility»

Interview on Economy 3

Logistics has become a decisive factor for business competitiveness. At In Side Logistics, they analyse the sector's challenges in a context marked by digitalisation, sustainability, and cost pressure.

Logistics is no longer an invisible element within business operations, but has become one of the main drivers of competitiveness. In a context marked by cost pressures, a shortage of drivers, digitalisation, and the challenge of decarbonisation, the sector is undergoing a transformation that forces companies to rethink their models.

In this scenario, In Side Logistics operates, a firm specialising in logistics consultancy and management with over two decades of experience, supporting companies in optimising their warehousing and transport operations. Its approach involves transforming logistics into a lever for value, in line with the model of major international operators who have made it a differentiating factor.

– For someone unfamiliar with logistics consulting, how would you explain what In Side Logistics does and what your services involve?

At In Side Logistics, we strive to make clients perceive logistics as another opportunity to generate value within their overall offering. The fact that behemoths like IKEA, ZARA, or Amazon have based a significant part of their value proposition precisely on logistics speaks volumes about the opportunity it generates when managed effectively.

We try to accompany the client in that analysis to generate the value we believe it can contribute, so that logistics is not seen as a necessary evil but as an opportunity to increase sales.

Logistical requirements

– What kind of problems or needs do companies usually have when they first approach you?

There's a bit of everything. Regarding warehouses, it could involve outsourcing your logistics facilities, an increase in space requirements, a relocation, a change of logistics provider, or even a first-time setup. All of this is generally linked to the market's perception that In Side Logistics can offer something different.

Regarding transport, we have a lot of services closely linked to our warehousing solution, but the vast majority of clients seek service guarantees and a varied fleet in terms of capabilities. We own duos and megas, as well as electric trucks; we also carry out port services and permanently implement technological improvements, including CO2 emissions calculation.
