Resumen

Las nanotiendas son proveedores fundamentales para los hogares en los mercados emergentes. En América Latina, aproximadamente el 35% de los hogares utiliza este canal para sus compras diarias. Sin embargo, las nanotiendas enfrentan numerosos desafíos en el abastecimiento, entre ellos la demanda fragmentada, el reducido poder de negociación, la limitada capacidad de almacenamiento y las restricciones de flujo de caja, lo que genera quiebres de stock y fluctuaciones en la cadena de suministro. Factores urbanos, como la congestión del tráfico y las ineficiencias en las entregas por parte de los proveedores, agravan estos problemas. Este estudio de caso examina los desafíos y dinámicas del abastecimiento en nanotiendas en tres ciudades típicas de América Latina y explora sus estrategias dentro de la cadena de suministro. Asimismo, analiza una estrategia colaborativa que involucra a proveedores y responsables de políticas públicas para mejorar el funcionamiento de las nanotiendas.
