High visibility monitoring
We use a high-visibility system to monitor and track all temperature-sensitive shipments. Pre-alerts are issued at origin, transfer and destination points, and detailed online tracking monitors shipments at every point along the way.
We believe in our process
You hold us accountable. Each temperature-controlled shipment is flagged with a distinct cool blue tag. A detailed checklist is initiated at acceptance, and critical details are collected throughout the life cycle of the shipment. Finally, a copy of the document is made available at pickup.
What's right for you?
We offer both active and passive temperature-controlled solutions. Our procedures have been tested time and again, so you can rest easy knowing your shipment will reach its destination at its desired temperature.
Active
Our active solution employs advanced, temperature-controlled containers to actively regulate temperature levels.
Passive
Our passive solution protects pre-packaged shipments with cold packs or dry ice by our expert handlers and temperature-controlled environments along the cold chain.
