What temperature do your frozen facilities maintain?

Our frozen warehouses consistently operate at -20°F or colder to preserve product quality and safety. We use real-time temperature monitoring, backup generators, and alarm systems to ensure uninterrupted cold chain performance.

Can you support both DTC and retail fulfillment?

Yes, we fulfill orders for major grocery chains, foodservice distributors, and individual direct-to-consumer customers—all from a single, unified inventory system. This allows you to manage multiple channels efficiently without duplicating stock or processes.

How do you ship frozen products without melting?

We use tested insulated shippers with the appropriate amount of dry ice or gel packs, depending on your product’s temperature requirements. Combined with cold chain carriers and route optimization software, we ensure your frozen items arrive intact and on time.

Do you offer kitting or subscription box services?

Absolutely—we assemble subscription boxes, variety packs, and promotional kits that include dry ice and custom-branded packaging. Our team handles packing and shipping with care to ensure presentation and temperature integrity.

What type of visibility will I have into inventory?

You’ll get 24/7 access to real-time dashboards showing inventory by SKU, lot, expiration date, and location. The system also tracks order status, shipment progress, and cold chain compliance for full operational oversight.

Common Challenges in Choosing a 3PL for Frozen Dessert & Ice Cream Brands

Frozen dessert logistics requires a high level of precision. One break in the cold chain can result in melted products, spoilage, or damaged customer trust. Many 3PLs are not equipped with the infrastructure or experience to support ultra-cold fulfillment, especially at scale.

Our third-party logistics for frozen dessert & ice cream brands is built to address these exact challenges, offering full cold chain visibility, retailer compliance, and fast last-mile delivery. Here’s what our logistics solutions for frozen dessert & ice cream brands help solve:

Strict Temperature Control Requirements

Your product must stay at -20°F or lower throughout warehousing and transit. We operate deep-frozen storage zones with 24/7 temperature monitoring, backup power, and cold chain integrity audits.

Short Shelf-Life & Rotation Protocols

Frozen desserts often have limited shelf lives. We use FIFO and FEFO inventory rotation, coupled with batch-level tracking to ensure freshness and compliance.

DTC and Retail Fulfillment Complexity

Shipping to thousands of retail locations and hundreds of direct customers requires a unified, scalable system. We fulfill both channels from the same inventory pool, reducing waste and improving accuracy.

Retailer Compliance & Chargeback Avoidance

Grocery chains and club stores demand strict adherence to pallet configurations, labeling, and routing guides. We handle EDI, ASN, labeling, and delivery compliance to keep your brand in good standing.

Seasonal Spikes and Rapid Growth

The frozen dessert space is highly seasonal. We provide flexible capacity, scalable fulfillment, and peak-season staffing to help you manage surges without missing a beat.
