Meeting of TIPSA Delegations at our Facilities to Improve Service

April 18, 2024 marked a significant day for Asmen Distribución, when we received in our facilities the TIPSA delegations from the Levante area with a clear objective: to review and improve the joint logistics service we offer to our customers. This meeting is part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen relationships with strategic partners, such as TIPSA, and to ensure that we maintain a top quality logistics service in a sector as dynamic as transport and distribution. The meeting was attended by key figures from both companies. On behalf of TIPSA, Marisa Camacho, founder and CEO, and Eduardo Vázquez, national director of the TIPSA network, attended the meeting. Luis Frías, president of Asmen Distribución, led the meeting from our organization. This was a crucial moment to consolidate the collaboration between both companies, focused on improving operational efficiency, integrating new technologies and advancing sustainable solutions for the future of transport in the Levante area. TIPSA and Asmen: A Strategic Partnership TIPSA, as a leading express and courier operator, has been a key strategic partner for Asmen in optimizing the distribution of goods, especially in the growing e-commerce sector. This meeting served as a platform to evaluate joint performance and outline improvement plans to ensure that both companies continue to deliver the highest standards of efficiency and customer satisfaction.

A Key Meeting for Continuous Improvement The collaboration between Asmen Distribución and TIPSA has been crucial to ensure that our logistics services in the Levante area run smoothly and efficiently. During this meeting, a detailed analysis of the operational and commercial aspects of our relationship was conducted, with a focus on identifying areas for improvement and taking advantage of opportunities. Operational Performance Assessment During the meeting, we reviewed the current state of joint operations, assessing delivery times, logistics routes and efficiency in managing the last mile, a crucial aspect for e-commerce and companies that require fast and accurate deliveries. We also analyzed seasonal demands and how to adapt our operations to work peaks, such as those that occur during campaigns like Black Friday or Christmas. Technology Improvement Proposals One of the key points of the meeting was the discussion on the adoption of new technologies to improve shipment management and real-time tracking of packages. The implementation of advanced traceability systems, which allow customers to know exactly where their package is at each stage of the logistics process, was addressed. These advances would not only improve the customer experience, but also increase operational efficiency, allowing problems to be identified and corrected before they affect deliveries. Route Optimization and Delivery Times A central theme at the meeting was the optimization of distribution routes. With the growth of e-commerce, it is vital not only to reduce delivery times, but also to make operations more sustainable. Asmen and TIPSA worked on optimizing intelligent routes, supported by predictive analytics tools that allow routes to be adjusted in real time, minimizing distances traveled and improving the use of available resources. Technological Innovations at the Service of Logistics In a constantly evolving logistics sector, technology and automation are key to staying ahead of the curve.

At this meeting, Asmen and TIPSA agreed to continue working together to integrate advanced technologies to improve package management and real-time traceability. Real-Time Traceability Real-time tracking of shipments is currently one of the biggest demands of our customers. Delivery accuracy is essential, especially in e-commerce. TIPSA and Asmen agreed to integrate systems to provide customers with complete visibility of their shipments at all stages of the process. This enhanced tracking capability offers greater control and a more reliable customer experience. Artificial Intelligence and Big Data The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the use of Big Data were other relevant points discussed. These technologies not only allow predicting market behaviors and optimizing demand management, but also facilitate management in times of high demand, such as massive sales campaigns. AI will also be used to optimize delivery routes, adjusting the most efficient routes in real time and improving responsiveness to unforeseen incidents. Improvements in Asmen Distribución’s Facilities TIPSA delegations toured our facilities to learn about the improvements implemented in recent months. Expansion of Storage Areas With the growth in demand, especially in e-commerce and express shipments, we have expanded our storage areas. This expansion allows us to handle a greater volume of packages and improve the speed and accuracy of package processing. These improvements ensure that we can continue to provide efficient service at times of high demand. Temperature-controlled facilities At Asmen, we have added new temperature-controlled storage areas for products that require specific conditions, such as certain pharmaceuticals. TIPSA has shown interest in integrating this type of service into its offering, which would open up new opportunities for collaboration for both companies in markets sensitive to storage conditions. Advanced Security Systems We have also improved our video surveillance and access control systems at our facilities. These systems ensure that products in storage and in transit are protected at all times, reinforcing the security of our operations and earning the trust of our customers. Joint Commitment to Sustainability One of the most prominent topics during the meeting was sustainability. Both TIPSA and Asmen share the vision of reducing the environmental impact of our operations, and several initiatives were discussed to achieve this. Route Optimization to Reduce Emissions Delivery routes are not only optimized to improve operational efficiency, but also to reduce carbon emissions.

TIPSA and Asmen committed to work together to optimize more sustainable routes, using technologies that minimize the use of resources and maximize transportation efficiency. Incorporation of Electric Vehicles In line with our commitment to sustainability, Asmen is working on incorporating electric vehicles into its local transportation fleet. TIPSA has also begun this process, and both companies shared their interest in making logistics transportation more environmentally friendly. Conclusions and Next Steps The meeting with the TIPSA delegations was a valuable opportunity to strengthen our collaboration and move forward in improving the services we offer together. Both companies agreed to continue working hand in hand to optimize operations, integrate new technologies and improve the customer experience. Looking ahead, it was agreed to implement the improvements discussed in a gradual manner, with the aim of continuing to offer the highest quality service and an increasingly sustainable approach. In addition, regular meetings were planned to review progress and ensure that both Asmen and TIPSA continue to be aligned in their strategic vision.
