What Andes Integración Logística does

Andes Integración Logística is a Chilean-headquartered international freight forwarder operating across 9 countries (Chile, Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia, USA, China, Uruguay) with a workforce of 251-500 employees. The company provides end-to-end logistics services spanning air, sea, and land freight; warehousing and distribution; courier and express services; and specialized cargo handling (oversized, dangerous goods, live animals, perishable commodities such as salmon, cherries, and meat). It serves enterprise importers and exporters primarily in Latin American trade corridors, with notable leadership positions in Chilean salmon exports (#1), Chilean maritime dry cargo exports (Top 3), Paraguayan meat exports (#1 for four consecutive years), and air cargo exports (Top 4).

The company's core technology stack includes the CargoWise ERP system (representing over US$10 million in cumulative investment), the ANDES 360 client-facing digital platform (launched August 2023) for real-time shipment visibility and documentation, the internal Andes System platform, Macrobots robotic process automation (reducing customer service time from 20 minutes to 3 seconds), WaveBL blockchain-based Electronic Bill of Lading integration (2024), and Searoutes-powered CO2 measurement for carbon footprint tracking. Strategic technology and operational partnerships include Flexport (digital logistics), Mediterranean Shipping Company (eBL adoption), LATAM Cargo (sustainable airfreight), and the WACO/WIN global agent network covering 89 countries.

Andes generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees on freight forwarding services across multiple tiers (premium, standard, economy) in air and ocean modes, plus warehousing, distribution, courier, and specialized project logistics. It operates a sales-led go-to-market model with direct field sales teams in each country office, targeting enterprise clients with relationship-based engagement. The company was acquired by global freight provider Apex Logistics in late 2025/early 2026, marking Apex's entry into seven Latin American markets. It maintains a sub-brand, Latrans, dedicated exclusively to import logistics into Chile.
