The safety and quality of perishable products is critical to ensure product integrity, meet regulatory requirements and maximize efficiency. Plus, retailers and consumers expect the freshest offerings with the longest possible product shelf life.

There’s also a need, driven by multiple sources – including the Food Safety Modernization Act – to provide transparency and monitoring of every product from the moment it’s harvested until it reaches the consumer’s plate. Plus, consumers increasingly want to know exactly where their food originated.

The 2022 Annual Third-Party Logistics Study found that several opportunities exist within the cold chain – supply chains specializing in the planning, loading and movement of temperature-sensitive freight. Most shippers, 91 percent, and 3PLs, 100 percent, said they expect demand for cold chain capacity to increase over the next three years.

Ensuring fresh foods and other temperature-sensitive products arrive as planned is all about process, procedure and reliability. Leveraging the right level of technology is key to creating efficiencies.
