Overview

This service provides businesses with the tools and knowledge that can be applied to all future sourcing of third-party refrigerated transport providers. Being able to accurately assess, in-house, the capabilities and compliance levels of potential contractors strengthens the negotiating position and substantially reduces the risk of future cold chain delivery failures resulting from sub-standard trailers, trucks or processes. This service does not include any actual assessments of potential third party providers, but if the company prefers to have an independent assessment carried out, Keep It Cool Consulting can fulfil that role either as an additional service to KIC108, or as an additional service.
