(ii) distribution activities; (iii) distribution costs; and (iv)
road traffic safety. Pointer was selected as one of the providers

while reducing fuel and maintenance costs;

delivery transactions of products to the retail outlets. This
resulted in higher satisfaction amongst customers, benefiting from
a smoother delivery process.
"We place our employee safety as a top corporate priority.
With the support of our partner, Pointer, we have developed a
technological tool that enables us to understand our employees
driving behaviors in order to prevent accidents in the future.
Additionally, we will be able to track our distribution operations
to enhance customer satisfaction," said Mrs. Jessica Ponce, Distribution & Logistics
Center of Excellence Director of COCA - COLA FEMSA.
David Mahlab, CEO of Pointer
