What CyS Transportes does

CyS Transportes is a Chilean specialized logistics company headquartered in Santiago that provides medical and biological transport services to healthcare institutions and commercial clients. Founded in 2007 in technology product distribution, the company pivoted into healthcare logistics in 2016, building a service portfolio around biological sample transport, pharmaceutical and medical supply distribution, temperature-controlled cold chain delivery, and on-site InHouse logistics operations inside client facilities.

The company's core technology rests on cold chain logistics infrastructure: autonomous containers, gels, thermometers, and real-time temperature monitoring systems designed to preserve sensitive biological and pharmaceutical cargo. A web-based Request Management System (Sistema de Gestión de Solicitudes) allows clients to submit and track transport requests online. Delivery is executed through a proprietary fleet of 12 trucks (for high-volume pharmaceutical and supply runs) and 16 vans (for special transport operations), with coordinated national coverage across Chile's Región Metropolitana and regional areas.

CYS generates revenue primarily through managed services contracts for recurring healthcare transport (clinics, mutuals, hospitals, laboratories), supplemented by on-site InHouse logistics staffing (professional services) and general distribution for retail, e-commerce, postal, and technology clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with each client assigned a dedicated coordinator for personalized service. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on WhatsApp consultation, online quote request forms, and direct B2B engagement with healthcare institutions.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Supply Chain (Healthcare): Global 3PL with a dedicated life sciences and healthcare division offering GDP-compliant cold-chain distribution. Represents the broad incumbent threat CyS faces when Chilean pharma manufacturers standardize on global certified providers.

Regional players
