Innovation and technology at the service of logistics

At Intermodal South America 2025, the largest and most comprehensive logistics event in South America, will take place from April 22 to 24, 2025, at the new Anhembi District in São Paulo. The edition will bring together more than 500 exhibitor brands, showcasing technological and operational innovations for the logistics, intralogistics, freight transportation, and foreign trade sectors.

According to the event organizers, the 2025 edition will reflect the growth of strategic areas for the modernization of the logistics chain, such as intralogistics and logistics warehouses, which already have a 20% increase in the number of confirmed exhibitors. “These segments are in full expansion, driven by the increasing demand for agility and technology in storage and distribution operations. This evolution follows the advance of e-commerce and the new digital consumption profile, which challenges the logistics sector to constantly adapt,” highlights the Head of Infrastructure and Technologies portfolio at Informa Markets, Fernando D’Ascola.

Technology: an indispensable tool

A traditional exhibitor at Intermodal South America, Logcomex is one of the representatives of technological innovation focused on international logistics. The company offers solutions that integrate all segments of foreign trade, providing insights that guide decision-making and bring greater control of operations, increasing negotiating power and the competitiveness of companies.

Among the technologies provided by the company to the market, LogManager allows the operator to plan and monitor reliable information, updated in real-time, with predictability of all shipment stages and predictive alerts, in order to optimize the entire operation and mitigate extra costs. Through automated processes, the solution streamlines customs clearance and reduces human errors, increasing operational performance.

Foreign Trade: specific challenges

The co-founder and CEO of Logcomex, Helmuth Hofstatter, evaluates that participating in international trade presents specific challenges. “Foreign trade is a very dynamic area, and the rules and regulations governing the sector constantly change, requiring companies to quickly adapt to regulatory processes. Logcomex’s solutions facilitate overcoming these challenges through automation, using AI, in the various import and export stages, including documentation management within legal requirements,” he details.

The executive mentions the Product Catalog, a tool launched in 2024, which allows importers to automate the process of creating, reviewing, and publishing product attributes in compliance with the New Import Process (NPI), using AI. LogOS uses AI to automate the creation of processes and workflows by reading complex documents (e.g. invoice, packing list, BL). The tool helps reduce manual task time by up to 70%, as well as providing financial management of foreign trade operations, bringing more transparency to cash flows.

Intralogistics

Another logistic segment gaining prominence at Intermodal South America 2025 is intralogistics, heavily impacted by technological innovation. “Technology has revolutionized all areas, and intralogistics is no different. With AIoT (Artificial Intelligence + IoT), the management of forklifts and cranes is undergoing the biggest market revolution. Electronic equipment collects everything that happens in these machines, and AI helps to bring more safety to operations, making fleet management much more efficient,” analyzes Softrack’s CEO, Menotti Franchescini. The company is one of over 500 exhibitor brands at Intermodal 2025.

According to the executive, Softrack’s technology solves challenges faced by companies in managing fleets of equipment such as forklifts and cranes. “Our proprietary telemetry system combines software and hardware with IoT, Cloud, Big Data, AI, and automation. The electronic equipment installed directly on the forklift or crane captures machine data and provides detailed information about the fleet. Using our telemetry, companies can optimize equipment management, operator training, impact sensors, and identify operation improvements,” he details.

These and other intralogistics solutions can be seen at Intermodal South America from April 22-24 at the Anhembi District in São Paulo.
