The food supply chain as a whole can be extremely robust and sometimes complicated – there’s a supplier for this and a service provider for that. Outsourcing has become a method of choice when it comes to producing multiple products and managing a brand these days. Amid growing concerns over the safety and reliability of the cold chain specifically, the supply chain needs to be kept as secure as possible. One way this can be done is to simplify the chain – reduce the number of links and you will reduce the possible points of weakness in the process.
Less frequent handover means less risk for failure and improper traceability. An easy way to eliminate unnecessary links in your supply chain is by finding partners that provide multiple value-added cold chain solutions under one roof. Not only does this mean less product movement, but also allows for improved supply chain efficiency and product visibility.
By outsourcing to an integrated cold chain solutions provider, companies can focus more on marketing their brand without having to worry about coordinating the logistics for each part of the production process. Building relationships with experienced cold chain service partners like Universal Pure is the best way to ensure the safety and security of the supply chain.
Not only do we provide integrated cold chain services like HPP, cold storage, beverage bottling & co-packing, kitting and assembly, tempering, blast freezing, date coding, pre-pricing, catch weight, and more – we also use the latest inventory management technology with 24/7 visibility of products while in our care.
While multiple partners within a supply chain are sometimes necessary (from supplier to manufacturer, to warehouse and beyond), the more handoffs, the more room for error. If you can find the right partner to help simplify your cold chain and enhance your food safety, you’ll be on your way to a more efficient and secure supply chain.
