Transportation of food products – the right carrier for your needs

Given the perishable nature of goods in the food and beverage supply chain, keeping them fresh and adhering to safety regulations is a key concern. Transport storage methods play a vital role here and timings, temperature control, humidity, floor contact, ventilation and pest control are just some of the risks that need to be managed.

In this context, it’s always a good idea to work with carriers that have the expertise and equipment to provide the perfect service, at an optimal cost. The Alpega Hub provides access to 80,000+, pre-vetted carriers, each with their own capacity and expertise. Carrier score cards let you know exactly what to expect from each carrier and rest in the knowledge your products are in safe hands.
