National Consolidation Programs

We have a scheduled, temperature-controlled national LTL network that drives right by your facilities – and those of your customers. You get full truckload service for less than truckload rates.

Date Stamping

Blast freeze your product, then take advantage of cost-effective ocean and rail transportation services. We’ll collect and continue to store your product in a frozen state, then add use-by dates after tempering. The results? Long overall product lifespan and cost-effective logistics.

Multi-Vendor Consolidation

Drive out costs and improve fill rates and on-shelf availability (OSA) with Americold’s MVC programs. With on-demand fulfillment, you can place and receive consolidated orders from multiple suppliers within 72 hours from order to delivery .

Retail Display Configuration

Enjoy the efficiency of our preparing your aisle-ready units, and re-purpose on-site processing space. It saves you time and labor.

Kitting

Combine SKUs into consumer-ready packs before delivery and reduce packaging transportation and the necessity for DC or point-of-sale sorting.

Postponement/Final Packing Customization

We can repackage items into customized materials closer to your customer and later along the order cycle time, allowing you to delay product assignment for as long as possible and reduce product handling.

Labeling and Repacking

Deliver product in bulk to us and have us personalize with customer-specific packaging and labeling. This reduces waste and saves on excess product transportation costs.

Pick and Pack

We can pick eaches, cases, or layers so you can mix SKUs and maximize pallet utilization. We can even load pallets in store-required order for ease of unpacking at the destination.

Tempering

Store products in a frozen state to prolong shelf life. Then take advantage of our tempering and date-coding activities to return product back to customer-specific temperature ranges with maximum possible use-by criteria.

Blast Freezing

Abide by regulatory requirements, extend product lifespan indefinitely, and lock in flavor, vitamins, and minerals. Americold’s blast freezing process is available at many of our facilities.
