It's more than cold storage, it's service

We can coordinate store-returned materials for your convenience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

We can isolate and fumigate product as per regulatory guidelines.

Americold is your go-to solution for store order fulfillment for both conventional and e-commerce needs. From each- and case-pick store-ready pallets to full pallet replenishment, Americold can operate within your fulfillment center, from an Americold site, or we can build a custom fulfillment center to your specifications. We use automation where it makes sense to improve supply chain speed and accuracy, so your shelves remain stocked amid spikes in demand.

We can arrange for USDA inspections on-site.

We can weigh or segregate product volumes and bag with your brand-labeled materials or those of your customers.

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 .

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

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.

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.

Maximize the capacity of your trucks and use our slatting and deslatting services for product requiring blast freezing. Move more product and have it frozen sooner.

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.

Fast moving products can be cross-docked into waiting trailers or staged as appropriate.  The cold chain remains intact on our temperature-controlled docks.

We can receive meat combos and pack or box for blast freezing and storage within our Farmers’ Produce facilities or prepare for further distribution as per your instructions.
