Challenges
From growing customer demands, managing delivery deadlines to labor retention, food service warehouses face unique challenges. Add food safety and contamination concerns to the priority list, and it is evident that operating to control costs can be an obstacle.
Temperature control is critical to ensure that your food products do not spoil. With U.S. food recalls exceeding $55 million per year, it is critical to follow strict food safety regulations, and trace movement of your product to pinpoint possible contamination sources.
Solutions
- Optimize transparency throughout your supply chain by using telematics, allowing you to determine the fastest route, minimizing the chance of food spoilage
- Use equipment designed specifically for cold storage which protects your assets, and operator comfort and productivity
- Upgrade to lithium-ion power eliminating emissions, and utilize food grade oils to reduce the risk of contamination and product recalls
- Incorporate temperature control monitors and systems throughout your supply chain
With heightened competition, your operations must be more accurate and productive, with as little damage to food as possible. But with limited labor, rising operational costs and higher transportation rates, it can be difficult to meet financial targets.
With most food distribution centers located in logistics hubs, this means competition for limited pool of qualified labor is more intense than ever. Combined with a 36% industry turnover rate, finding the right employees and retaining those workers is critical to keep your operations running.Your Headquarters for Cold and Frozen Food Distribution Solutions
