Colombina Drives Logistics Modernization in Colombia with Opendock
BOGOTÁ, Colombia, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Colombina, one of Colombia's most recognized and respected food companies, has become the first major Colombian enterprise to adopt Opendock's dock and yard management platform—moving ahead of the country's upcoming logistics compliance mandate, Decree 1017.
With mandatory reporting requirements taking effect in December 2025 and enforcement expected in early 2026, Colombina is reinforcing its commitment to efficiency and transparency in logistics operations by implementing Opendock as its strategic platform for appointment scheduling and control across origin and destination facilities. The solution enables visibility into scheduled shipments and accurate recording of actual arrival, waiting, loading, and unloading times—ensuring reliable data for collaboration with transportation partners.
"This partnership with Opendock is part of our commitment to operational excellence and the modernization of logistics management. The platform provides critical visibility and automation to strengthen our processes, raise operational standards, and improve efficiency across the entire supply chain," said Eduardo Parra, Vice President of Supply Chain at Colombina.
The new regulation requires Colombian transportation companies to standardize and digitally report key logistics events to the RNDC registry, with penalties for non-compliance. By acting months ahead of the enforcement phase, Colombina has positioned itself as an industry leader in regulatory readiness.
"Colombina's decision to get ahead of compliance reflects the forward-thinking mindset that has made them one of Colombia's most respected companies," said Felipe Capella, Founder and CEO of Opendock. "We're proud to partner with them as they set the standard for logistics excellence in Colombia."
Beyond compliance, the Opendock platform will help Colombina improve truck turn times and strengthen collaboration with carriers and logistics partners.
