logistic importance

In the case of Nuevo León, having a Center in Apodaca, a product can be ordered before 12:00 noon and it is received the same day; in seven other cities they have delivery on the same day, and in other entities the shipment is delivered in two days, except when there is an import order, due to the border crossing.
He explained that in the state of Nuevo León there is a lot of availability of industrial warehouses, like the ones amazon requires, with spaces between 10,000 and 100,000 square meters, however, sometimes they have to invest because they must raise the construction standard, for example, air conditioning and renovating sanitary facilities.
