Cold Inventory Management Services

Cold inventory management requires an innovative plan that keeps refrigerated goods fresh at every step. Our custom strategy creation is two-fold:

Development

We first conduct a thorough needs assessment, working closely with you to understand your requirements, such as product types, compliance regulations, storage needs, and transportation modes. Using that information, we compile a custom inventory strategy that optimizes stock levels, minimizes waste, and ensures continuous quality. We’ll also identify any potential risks and craft mitigation protocols to protect your goods and safeguard your bottom line. 

Implementation

After developing the strategy, we’ll implement it through cold storage warehousing. Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure temperature control, efficient handling, and product separation.

We’ll also coordinate your products as they move through the cold chain. Witte Bros.’ centralized location allows us to transport your refrigerated goods throughout the country using our owned, operated, and maintained fleet. Plus, we leverage advanced technology to track inventory, monitor temperatures, and grant you real-time visibility into your supply chain.

Strategies That Solve

Our cold inventory management processes mitigate common challenges that can negatively impact product quality, safety, and profitability.

Product Spoilage

Improper temperature control and handling can cause refrigerated products to spoil, leaving companies with financial losses and damaged reputations. At Witte Bros., we:

• Leverage 24/7 temperature monitoring,
• Utilize appropriate storage dimensions and packaging, and 
• Thoroughly train our warehouse team on the proper handling techniques.

Lower Inventory

Inventory shrinkage is a devastating issue, whether caused by theft, management error, or damage. We utilize robust security measures, leverage accurate inventory tracking systems, and regularly audit our warehouses to identify and mitigate discrepancies. 

Cold Chain Disruptions

Unexpected events like transportation delays, natural disasters, and regulatory updates can wreak havoc on the cold chain, leading to stockouts or excess inventory. Rest assured that we craft contingency plans to lessen the impact, frequently communicate with suppliers and customers, and use our transportation network to ensure the timely delivery of your products.

Regulatory Compliance

As a member of the cold chain, you know all too well how failure to comply with food safety, pharmaceutical, or other regulatory requirements can harm a company. We stay abreast of industry trends and implement compliance initiatives to ensure every operation meets all relevant standards.

Product-Focused Solutions

Numerous products fluctuate in demand throughout the year. Whatever the season or product, we’re equipped to handle every variation, ensuring optimal inventory levels and timely deliveries.

• Demand Forecasting: Advanced analytics tools and data empower us to predict seasonal demand accurately and optimize your inventory accordingly.
