Small Businesses, Big Challenges: The Cold Truth of Temperature-Controlled Logistics
For small CPG and grocery businesses, maintaining the freshness and integrity of temperature-sensitive products is a significant challenge. The primary hurdle? Ensuring consistent temperature control throughout the supply chain while managing costs.
Did you know?
- Even slight temperature deviations can lead to spoilage or contamination.
- Approximately 25% of food products in the cold chain are wasted annually due to temperature fluctuations during transport.
- The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that food losses in supply chains cost the global economy around $400 billion each year, with temperature mismanagement being a significant contributor.
Small businesses often lack the resources for advanced monitoring systems or specialized equipment, making this challenge even more daunting. At MonarKonnect, we understand these obstacles. As Logistics Architects, we provide scalable, technology-driven solutions that ensure temperature integrity without breaking the bank.
