Track: Supply Chain and Logisitcs Competition
Abstract
Abstract
The intense governmental effort to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), allowed project development accomplishment within this framework and, hand in hand with globalization, has connected Colombian territories with large cities by technological interfaces. The population and territorial view of the SDG has promoted trends that bring near consumers and territories of goods producers or consumer services; one of these trends are short commercial systems (SCS). This research has proved that Colombian SCS aid commercial exchange equity, promote sustainable and conscious consumption, produce new social and commercial links, contribute to reducing packaging use and solid waste production, product freshness, traditions and knowledge exchange, supply chain actors autonomy and integration of actors involved; this was also potentialized by the Covid-19 sanitary crisis. Evidence showed that SCS is performed by families or farming associations that lack technics to certify quality process and that effectively apply continuous improvement process, making uncompetitive operations faced to other commercial models; however, traceability as a quality strategy for perishable products has shown to adapt, allowing continuous quality improvement according to the supply chain actor requirements and the appropriate architecture that allows to model according to the requirements of each of the participant actors. The need to build a technological architecture that allows establishing the best commercialization and distribution model for each actor involved in the supply chain, ensuring guidelines for development and success of this technological answer is concluded from the four phases of this research. The architecture involved in this research allows adaptability in different rural families in the same economical sector, potentializing competitiveness, and clear information flow, minimizing risks, time, and allowing decision making facing possible risks.
