A Year in Review: 2024 at Rapido

 

As we head into the final quarter of 2024, we at Rapido are looking back on our achievements from the year and looking forward to another milestone year in 2025. From the opening of our new office in León to our leadership team taking the stage at industry conferences and growing our service offerings, we've made great strides in our mission to provide exceptional solutions for our clients. As we wrap up the year and prepare for the challenges and opportunities of 2025, we're excited to continue growing, innovating, and delivering value.

 

Rapido Opened a New Office in León

In April, we announced the grand opening of our new office in León, Mexico. Leon is a growing city with untapped potential and an educated, scalable workforce. This strategic move helps us fulfill our mission of becoming the best place to work in Mexico while providing our clients with enhanced solutions and access to a broader talent pool.

 

Rapido's CEO Spoke at TIA's 2024 CapitalIdeas Conference

TIA's 2024 Capital Ideas Conference brought together over 1,500 logistics professionals to share insights, reconnect, and explore the latest trends. Our CEO and co-founder, Danny Frisco, took the stage as a panelist, discussing the critical role of a strong brand and an effective training program in building successful teams and services.

 

Rapido Expanded its Cross-BorderLogistics Services

This year saw significant growth in our cross-border logistics services. Because of the significant growth of the cross-border logistics market between the US and Mexico, our cross-border solutions have become a key part of our offering, helping US-based companies optimize operations and grow their businesses.

 

The State of the Freight Market and Nearshoring

The freight market remains challenging for third-party logistics providers and carriers alike. While there are continued talks of a market turnaround, exact timelines remain unclear, and efficiency remains a top priority as companies aim to do more with fewer resources.

 

Nearshoring has emerged as a solution for these challenges. With nearshoring, companies can access skilled labor at lower costs, with the added benefit of fewer cultural and time zone barriers than offshoring.Nearshore staffing helps companies maintain high levels of collaboration, improve responsiveness, and scale operations more effectively, even in an uncertain market.

 

Looking Ahead: Creating Strategies,Budgets, and Goals for 2025

As 2024 comes to a close, businesses are working to develop strategies, set budgets, and define goals for 2025. For logistics companies, this means tackling ongoing challenges like supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and operational inefficiencies. We anticipate strategic resource allocation and a focus on efficiency will be crucial in the year ahead.

 

At Rapido, we believe incorporating nearshorestaffing into 2025 plans can provide businesses with a flexible, cost-effective way to manage labor and enhance operations. By streamlining operations and boosting flexibility, companies can set themselves up for success in the year ahead.
