of transport together with storage and moving goods;
 International shipments: measures the ease of negotiating competitive prices for sending;
 Logistics quality and competence: indicates the quality of logistical services, such as
transport operators or customs agents;
 Tracking and tracing: measures the follow-up and location of shipments. Identifying the
exact location and route followed by each good is relevant up to the moment of delivery to
the final client. In this component, all agents of the good’s supply chain are involved;
therefore, traceability is the result of the global action;
 Timeliness: refers to the exact time of shipment delivery. It is important to consider this
factor because due to the high degree of existing competition, not meeting the established
times is unacceptable.
