How we work
What we move for supermarket & retail shippers
Multi-temperature consolidation (dry + chilled + frozen): We build mixed loads with ambient, 0–4 °C, and frozen (≤ −18 °C) zones, validated to protect product quality and shelf life. Vendor pooling and PO management: W e co ordinate pickups or receiving from many suppliers, reconcile purchase orders, and stage by store/DC, brand, or temperature band.
- Weekly departures from Miami: Fixed cut-offs and frequent sailings/airfreight options to Central & South America and the Caribbean reduce lead times and stockouts.
- Grocery delivery logistics to store or DC: Final-mile arrangements at destination with vetted partners, including delivery appointment scheduling and pallet-level proof of delivery.
- Full compliance and certifications: FDA/USDA-registered facilities, Organic and GFSI/PrimusGFS practices, lot/batch traceability, export documents, and destination import support.
- End-to-end visibility: Po rtal/API status by PO/SKU, milestone alerts, and lane-level temperature monitoring for cold-chain integrity.
Many suppliers, one container
Retail consolidation: buy from many vendors, ship one container
A supermarket buyer wants one arrival date, not eight. We receive from every vendor on the purchase order across dry, chilled and frozen, build store-ready pallets with your labels, and close the container on a fixed weekly day so the shelf plan holds. Prior notice goes in on the food lines, the entry is filed before the vessel berths, and the delivery lands on a booked appointment at the distribution center instead of a truck waiting at the gate.
