Overview

This service provides businesses with the tools and knowledge that can be applied to all future procurement of refrigerated transport equipment. Having an understanding of the features of refrigerated transport essential to good cold chain management supports quality-based decision-making and compliance and efficiency in delivery of the customer’s product. This service does not include any actual assessments of potential refrigerated transport equipment, but if the company prefers to have an independent assessment carried out, Keep It Cool Consulting can fulfil that role either as an add-on to KIC109, or as an additional service.
