Cold Chain Solutions

Storage — Cold Storage warehouses receive products from their clients on pallets and floor loaded depending on the origin of shipment and the shipper’s preference. Whatever the means of arrival the product is received in, it is placed on pallets to the specification of the client’s need and then stored in the warehouse, where we maintain temperatures and humidity level that will extend the product’s shelf life.
Consolidation — Client of cold storage warehouses will buy product from several vendors and have those vendors ship it to a specific cold storage warehouse. Then the product can be consolidated for the client and then shipped to a specific store or end user by a single carrier fully loaded, instead of one pallet at a time.
Inventory/Tracking Management — Warehouse Management Systems is the software managed by our ICT department. Chelsea’s International WMS allows our client’s to view all inventory activities online via the internet. The WMS internet access allows the clients to order and track shipments via smartphone apps and web portal why they are anywhere in the world in real-time.
Customization — The handling and storing the product in various different manner (Import/Export, tempering, separated from other products and various other needs per client’s requests). Documentation handled differently, i.e., invoicing as truck load ships for the clients, etc.
