In an event that seeks to mark a before and after in supply chain security, the National Council of Logistics and Supply Chain Executives (ConaLog) signed a collaboration agreement with the Latin American Security Association (ALAS) , with the National Guard as an honorary witness.
The agreement will allow for the exchange of views, training, and technologies between the two organizations, with the goal of strengthening security in the logistics sector through innovative technological solutions.
Jaquelin León, president of ALAS, explained that for the association, which brings together more than 750 partners including manufacturers, developers, consultants, and integrators, this alliance represents both a challenge and an opportunity.
“We are delighted and excited to be able to participate in these types of scenarios. For us, it’s a challenge and a pleasure to be able to share all the new technologies that exist in the field of security and, obviously, to be able to contribute to one of their missions. The better organized they are, the more they can contribute to the development of a safe country,” he emphasized.
For his part, Hugo Ruiz, president of ConaLog, emphasized that this type of collaboration requires stability, commitment, and the participation of strategic stakeholders.
“Collaboration is one of our fundamental pillars, and to be able to collaborate, we definitely have to work. The National Guard is a key element in security, and bringing together a specialist association like ALAS is essential. Technology will be a determining factor in improving security levels in the country, something that, as surveys and our Logistics Heart Rate Monitor show, is one of the sector’s main concerns,” he noted.
According to the Logistics Pulse Meter 2025 , errors in sales forecasts, insecurity, and infrastructure deficiencies are the main causes affecting service levels.
However, these challenges can be mitigated by strengthening planning and adopting technological management and telemetry tools.
The study also revealed that only 66% of large companies prioritize digital transformation through advanced solutions such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Transportation Management System (TMS), or Warehouse Management System (WMS) , while many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to operate in survival mode with basic tools.
Meanwhile, Gustavo Equihua, a board member at ConaLog, emphasized that the impact of this agreement goes beyond the companies, as it also benefits employees and, ultimately, consumers.
“This collaboration not only strengthens businesses, but also protects the people involved. It’s a partnership that creates value for everyone involved,” he noted.
With this agreement, ConaLog and ALAS seek to take a firm step toward the professionalization and modernization of logistics security, integrating knowledge, training, and technology to address the sector’s current challenges.
Hugo Ruiz also emphasized ConaLog’s collaborative efforts and stated that they are seeking to forge new collaboration agreements with key players in the logistics sector.
