How Fresh Foods Distribution Inc. Transformed Their Fleet Operations
Fresh Foods Distribution Inc. was facing critical challenges in maintaining the cold chain integrity for their temperature-sensitive food products. With 55 refrigerated vehicles serving supermarkets, restaurants, and food service providers across Metro Manila and Central Luzon, they struggled with temperature violations, food spoilage, regulatory compliance issues, and lack of real-time visibility into cold chain conditions.
