Two degrees. That is the margin between a premium berry harvest arriving fresh and an entire container written off at the port. Cold chain is the least forgiving corner of logistics — and the most rewarding to get right.
Unbroken means unbroken
Most spoilage happens in the handoffs: tarmac waits, port queues, warehouse doors held open. We map every transfer point in advance, pre-book cooled staging and cap ambient exposure at 45 minutes. Sensors in every pallet stream temperature continuously — not at checkpoints, but always.
Packaging is half the battle
Validated insulated packaging buys time when reality intervenes — and it always intervenes. Our lab-tested configurations hold range for 96+ hours without power, which turns a missed connection from a disaster into a delay.
- → Pre-cool product and packaging before loading, never after
- → Place calibrated loggers at pallet core, not just container wall
- → Set escalation alerts at 1° of drift, not at breach
Proof your buyers can taste
Every cold-chain delivery arrives with its full temperature record attached — a quality certificate your customers can forward to theirs. Freshness you can prove commands better shelf placement and better prices.
