SELECTING A COLD CHAIN PARTNER: POINTS TO CONSIDER

Operational knowledge and expertise are important factors in Temperature Controlled logistics, and this involves many things, from ensuring and monitoring the temperature of products in their journey to tracking their progress and status in real-time. This also includes the recommendation of appropriate packaging solutions such as active or passive packaging, depending on the product / shipment requirement. Enquire from the vendor about the technologies in their transport vehicles, warehouse facilities, and offices to better understand their processes, how they transport to ensure their integrity and efficacy. Technologies and capabilities differ from carrier to carrier, so be familiar with what a provider uses and see if they best meet what your products require.
