Estimated Budget
Potential Qolca project: US$2,000-10,000/year
Logistics companies typically spend 2-4% of revenue on technology. Smaller operators are more price-sensitive but feel the pain of manual operations daily. The clearest ROI comes from reducing customer service call volume (chatbot) or automating documentation — both show results within weeks.
Who to Target
Target: Gerente General or owner. In smaller logistics companies, the owner feels the daily pain of manual operations personally. They'll make quick decisions if the ROI is clear.

Key Business Processes & Pain Assessment
Customs Declaration Processing
High PainEach import/export requires DAM (Declaracion Aduanera de Mercancias) preparation, tariff classification, value determination, and submission to SUNAT/Aduanas. Agents manually gather documents from clients, cross-reference tariff codes, calculate duties, and prepare declarations. Errors cause delays, penalties, and unhappy clients.
Fleet & Driver Management
High PainTracking vehicle locations, maintenance schedules, driver certifications, fuel consumption, and compliance with MTC regulations. Most fleet data lives in separate spreadsheets — no unified dashboard for real-time fleet visibility.
Client Communication & Tracking
High PainClients constantly ask 'where is my shipment?' by phone and WhatsApp. Customer service staff spend 60-80% of their time answering repetitive tracking inquiries instead of handling exceptions and growing accounts. No self-service tracking portal or automated status updates.
Invoicing & Documentation
Medium PainGenerating guias de remision, facturas, and customs documentation requires manual data entry from operational records. Billing errors and delays in invoicing directly impact cash flow. Even smaller operators process dozens of documents daily.
Compliance & Certifications
Medium PainMaintaining SUNAT agent certifications, staying current with tariff changes, and managing OEA (Operador Economico Autorizado) requirements. All tracked manually with expiration dates that can be missed.
