Tackling international logistics during peak times such as Christmas or the end of the year can present significant challenges, especially when demand for products for specific sectors increases significantly. To ensure the efficient and successful flow of goods during this critical period, it is crucial that organizations have sound strategies in place to anticipate any issues that may arise.

Industries such as pharmaceuticals, veterinary, cosmetics, fine chemicals, medical devices, and dietary supplements all have year-round demand. If there is one sector that increases the demand for products during the Christmas period or at the end of December, it is undoubtedly the cosmetics sector, as this is a time when the retail sector demands more stock. There are a few aspects to pay attention to:

• Demand forecasting: It is important to conduct a thorough trend analysis of past years in order to estimate the demand forecast for the current year.
• Sufficient inventory: It is essential that there is adequate inventory in the warehouses to meet the expected demand. Coordinating with suppliers and manufacturing companies to avoid stock shortages is vital to ensure a constant supply of products.
• Communication with carriers: Establishing fluid communication with a logistics company throughout the process will help. The transport company can help us coordinate delivery schedules, alternative routes and loading capacities to avoid delays.
• Strategic warehouses: it is necessary that our goods, especially if they are sensitive such as those in the cosmetics sector, are stored in places where humidity and temperature are monitored. Having a well-located warehouse will speed up distribution.
• Taking care of the details: being rigorous with packaging, labelling and inventory tracking is a great help to cope with high demand at peak times. Digitalization reduces errors and increases operational efficiency, and traceability allows you to know the status and location of each product.
