In an industry shaped by constant change and rising expectations, Flomic Global Logistics, one of India’s leading integrated logistic solution providers, believes it has stayed consistently ahead of the curve with continuous innovation, in-house capabilities, and the highest quality and safety norms.
Reflecting on the changes over the past 29 years, Lancy Barboza, managing director of Flomic Global Logistics describes India’s logistics evolution as nothing short of remarkable. “Infrastructure advancements, regulatory reforms, and the adoption of technology have significantly modernized the sector,” he explains. Government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and the National Logistics Policy (NLP 2022) have further accelerated this progress, helping to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.
“We understood early on that the future belonged to those who could integrate services seamlessly and deliver solutions with precision,” says Barboza.
Tailored solutions for FMCG and pharma
According to Barboza, Flomic delivers reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency by leveraging real-time analytics, cloud-based warehouse management systems (WMS), and API-driven transport management systems. “In sectors where product integrity and speed are non-negotiable, our technology-backed model makes all the difference,” Barboza notes.
One success story that stands out is when Flomic revamped the supply chain for a leading FMCG client. By centralizing inventory, automating stock management, and optimizing transport routes, the company enabled a 20% reduction in logistics costs while improving order fulfillment speed — enhancing the client’s competitiveness in a crowded market.
The rapid rise of eCommerce and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands has dramatically reshaped supply chain dynamics. Flomic has responded proactively, setting up decentralized fulfillment centers closer to key consumer markets, enabling seamless digital tracking, and ensuring faster last-mile deliveries. “Speed and flexibility are now critical,” says Barboza. “We have adapted by offering agile warehousing and integrating digital solutions that align perfectly with the D2C model.”
Pharmaceutical logistics
“When it comes to pharmaceutical logistics, the stakes are even higher,” says Barboza. He explains that the company’s validated processes meet global standards like WHO-GDP, US FDA, and EU-GMP. Flomic’s cold-chain infrastructure — including temperature-controlled storage facilities, GPS-enabled refrigerated transport, and IoT-based real-time monitoring — ensure that pharmaceutical products maintain their integrity across every link of the supply chain.
Security and traceability are strengthened through advanced surveillance systems and blockchain-based documentation, aligning with stringent global track-and-trace regulations like the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) and the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD). “Pharma logistics isn’t just about transporting a product, it’s about preserving life. We take that responsibility very seriously,” Barboza says.
From AI-powered route optimization and predictive analytics to automated warehouse management and IoT-enabled shipment tracking, every process is designed to enhance efficiency and visibility. “Technology enables us to stay ahead of challenges and anticipate customer needs,” he asserts. “It’s how we maintain service excellence while optimizing costs.”
Looking ahead, Flomic is focused on expanding its cold-chain infrastructure, strengthening its multimodal transport networks, and deepening its technology investments. Barboza is enthusiastic about the role of AI, automation, and sustainability in shaping the future of logistics. “AI will drive predictive analytics, automation will bring unmatched operational efficiency, and sustainability initiatives will define responsible business practices,” he says.
“In logistics, change is the only constant,” he adds, “At Flomic, we don’t just embrace change — we drive it.”
