4 Challenges of Shipping Perishable Goods
4 Challenges of Shipping Perishable Goods
Temperature Control
One of the primary challenges of shipping perishable goods is maintaining the right temperature throughout the transportation process. Fluctuations in temperature can lead to spoilage, affecting the quality and safety of the products. We provide state-of-the-art refrigeration systems that uphold the cold chain transport, ensuring that your perishable items remain in pristine condition.
Short Shelf Life
Perishable goods often have a limited shelf life, which adds pressure to the shipping process. Delays in transit or improper handling can significantly reduce the remaining shelf life of the products by the time they reach the end consumer. To overcome this challenge, shippers need to optimize their supply chain, adopt faster shipping methods, and establish contingency plans in case of unexpected delays.
Security and Traceability
Another challenge of shipping perishable goods is ensuring their security and traceability during transit. We provide TSA Screening service and shipment tracking capabilities to enhance the safety and transparency of your shipments. With these security measures in place, you can have peace of mind knowing that your perishable goods are in good hands.
Handling and Packaging
Proper handling and packaging are essential when shipping perishable goods to prevent damage and maintain freshness. Our team of experienced professionals is well-versed in handling delicate items like fresh-cut flowers and greens with care. We offer specialized packaging solutions to protect your products during transit, minimizing the risk of spoilage or contamination.
