Our Logistics Services
Our logistics services include the following:
- Consolidation & Distribution Services
Coldco’s specialized load consolidation program is designed specifically for retail and foodservice customers dealing with smaller, more frequent orders from food manufacturers. We can consolidate several LTL orders going to the same retailer or food service to lower shipping costs and create more efficient shipping schedules for our customers.
- Computerized Inventory Management and EDI Capability
By using EDI for order processing, the error margin is significantly reduced to almost nothing, which allows our customers to make better inventory planning and product forecasting decisions. Coldco’s WMS system recognizes and uses all major EDI codes.
- Order Fulfillment Solutions
Coldco has flexible order fulfillment solutions to create efficiencies in your order process. Our WMS system can be synced with all major e-commerce or shopping cart software for online orders. Coldco offers kitting, pick & pack, labeling, and shipping services to send orders out to market in a timely and accurate manner. With Coldco’s central location, we can reach most of the United States using 1, 2, or 3-day ground shipping.
- Import/Export Services
Coldco meets all US Import/Export regulatory requirements to transport our customer’s products in and out of the country and/or store imported or exported products in our warehouse facilities.
- Cross-Docking
Cross-docking allows products to be immediately shipped by logistics companies with minimal handling. This lessens the time involved to get the product to its end-user, which improves customer satisfaction and is a crucial part of logistics services for perishable and time-sensitive shipments.
- Reverse Logistics Services
Return-to-vendor requests and product recall management are very delicate processes that could prove to be quite costly a business if not handled properly. Managing hundreds, even thousands, of returns or recalled products is no small feat, which is why working with an experienced reverse logistics partner is imperative. Through our traceability and inventory management capabilities, we can efficiently process returned or recalled products in order to maintain the positive relationships our customers hold with their consumers or markets and mitigate lost revenue.
