Service overview
Cold chain logistics is built for shippers moving products that can’t tolerate temperature excursions—especially food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and clinical supplies. The goal is simple: protect potency and quality with disciplined SOPs, tight scheduling, and traceable monitoring from origin to final delivery.
What we handle
- Refrigerated transport for chilled, frozen, and controlled‑room‑temperature cargo
- Mixed loads and multi‑stop routes with adjustable zones (where applicable)
- Pharma cold chain for vaccines, biologics, and clinical supplies
- Temperature ranges supported: 2–8 °C, 15–25 °C, and frozen
- Validated packaging support (including pre‑conditioned gel packs)
- Dry ice programs where eligible, with digital data loggers for traceability
- Temperature‑controlled storage, cross‑dock, and fulfillment operations
How it works
- Share your lane, commodity, temperature band, volumes, and target ETD/ETA.
- We confirm the transport plan (road/air/ocean legs as needed), setpoints, and handling controls.
- Packaging and monitoring are aligned to shipment risk (data loggers, seals, handoff rules).
- We execute pickup → line‑haul → storage/transfer (if needed) → last‑mile delivery with documented POD.
- Exceptions are managed through a control tower with proactive updates and corrective actions.
Service scope & options
Transport options
- Reefer trucking for first‑mile, line‑haul, and last‑mile delivery
- Vetted air and ocean partners for temperature‑sensitive lanes (as required)
Cold storage & fulfillment
- Cross‑dock, buffer stock, kitting, and FEFO inventory rotation
- WMS processes that track batch, lot, and expiry with optional API/EDI integration to ERP/WMS/storefronts
Incoterms supported (as applicable): DDP, DAP, CIP.
Documentation & compliance
Cold chain performance depends on clean paperwork and compliant handling:
- Export packing, labeling, and compliant documentation
- Customs brokerage and trade compliance across borders
- Food & beverage operations aligned to HACCP and ISO 22000 practices (probes, sanitation checks, seal verification at handoffs)
- Exporter support including health and phytosanitary certificates where required
- Documentation and handling aligned to GDP/GMP expectations and IATA TCR guidance for pharmaceutical moves
Transit time & scheduling
Cold chain schedules are planned to minimize dwell, door openings, and risk. Cut‑offs, transfer windows, and delivery appointments are managed with documented handoffs and exception escalation when conditions change.
What affects cold chain logistics cost / rates?
- Temperature band (chilled vs. frozen vs. controlled room temperature)
- Lane distance, route complexity, and multi‑stop requirements
- Mode choice (road vs. air vs. ocean components) and service urgency
- Packaging requirements (validated packaging, gel packs, dry ice where eligible)
- Monitoring and visibility needs (telemetry, data loggers, reporting cadence)
- Dwell risk at docks/terminals and appointment constraints
- Documentation and destination requirements (certificates, customs steps)
- Insurance requirements for true risk transfer
