Importing food products requires more coordination than most freight. The details surrounding regulations, time in transit, handling, and shipping costs are all magnified when it comes to specialty and organic food.
When making sure your product gets where it needs to be on time and within budget, there are 4 main ingredients to guarantee success.
Food Safety
Specialty packaging and crating ensure the safety and quality of your food while meeting the necessary regulations. Temperature-controlled and cold-chain solutions may be required depending on the food being imported or exported.
Store and Vendor Compliance
With extreme delivery deadlines and strict sanitation standards on the line, you must coordinate your food shipments to major food retailers to ensure routing guide compliance. Doing this will ensure you avoid costly fees or delays.
Accurate Tracking Data and Reliable Capacity
It is crucial to have advanced tracking technology that can update you on the status and condition of your perishable items. Along with that data, guarantee on-time delivery by partnering with reputable carriers that are always available.
An Advanced Freight Management System
The only way to lower your costs, reduce waste, optimize routes, and provide complete product visibility (even in transit) is to adopt a state-of-the-art freight management system. Automate and optimize the shipping process while saving time and avoiding headaches.
