w3logistics for frozen food logistics
Logistics in the frozen food industry is a highly specialised discipline with specific requirements and challenges. The focus is on maintaining an unbroken cold chain to ensure the quality and safety of frozen products from the manufacturer to the end consumer. Efficient cooling technologies, precise just-in-time logistics and digital monitoring systems are essential for this. High energy and storage costs as well as demanding working conditions for staff further complicate the processes. Sustainability and modern technologies such as warehouse management software are therefore becoming increasingly important in order to meet both ecological and economic requirements.
In 25 years on the market, w3logistics AG has built up a wealth of expertise in frozen food and food logistics and can point to numerous references in the industry. The w3/max warehouse management system from w3logistics is already in use in a number of cold stores, such as Gelato Classico, Cuxhavener Kühlhäuser, Coldstore Hamm and Thüringer Kühlhäuser.
