Chilled & Frozen 3PL · Canada-Wide
Chilled and frozen storage, order picking and delivery under one roof. Stock kept at the right temperature, rotated by expiry date, and delivered without the chain breaking on the loading dock, backed by our broader temperature-controlled logistics network.

The Basics
Temperature-controlled logistics means storing, handling and delivering goods that have to stay within a set temperature range. For most food and drink businesses that covers three things at once: somewhere to keep the stock, someone to pick and pack the orders, and vehicles to deliver them without the product warming up on the way. Running that in-house is expensive in a way ordinary warehousing is not, because refrigeration runs constantly whether you are busy or quiet, and it needs backup power, monitoring and maintenance behind it, the same efficiency focus we bring to our eco-friendly logistics work. Using a temperature-controlled 3PL turns that fixed cost into one that moves with your volume, and gives you space in months when you need it without paying for it in months when you do not.
The Weak Point
Cold stores rarely fail. Loading docks do. Products can sit correctly frozen for months and still be compromised in the fifteen minutes it spends on a warm dock waiting for a trailer that was not pre-cooled. The same applies at the delivery end, where a driver holding a door open through a long unload lets the whole load drift, the kind of last-mile handling we also manage through our professional cargo van freight shipping service. This is why the way a provider handles the joins matters more than the temperature their warehouse can reach. Vehicles are cooled before loading rather than after. Dock time is planned rather than absorbed. Multi-temperature loads are arranged so the frozen section is not opened every time a chilled item comes off. None of that is complicated, but it is the difference between a chain that holds and one that only appears to.

Beverages & Chilled Drinks
Most clients need more than one of these ranges at the same time, which is where a single provider earns its place, the same principle behind our FFE logistics and our project cargo logistics services, where multiple specialized needs are handled under one contract. A prepared meals business might hold frozen stock, chilled ingredients and ambient packaging simultaneously, then need all three leaving on the same vehicle. Splitting that across separate providers means separate contracts, separate deliveries and a chain that breaks wherever they meet. Handling all three ranges under one contract removes those joins entirely.
What To Expect
Stock picked oldest first and tracked by lot and expiry, so product does not quietly age out at the back of a freezer.
Refrigeration on standby power, because a supply cut should not become a written-off warehouse.
Trailers brought to temperature before loading rather than after, since cooling a warm trailer means cooling your product too.
Frozen, chilled and ambient on the same vehicle in separate zones, so one delivery covers your whole order.
Storage and handling meeting the requirements that apply to food, with the records to support your own obligations.
A warning while a problem can still be fixed is worth more than an explanation of why the load was lost.
Pricing
Cold space costs more than dry space because the equipment never stops running. Price follows how cold, how much and how often.

Client Experience
“We were running our own freezer unit and paying for it year round when we only really filled it from September onwards. Paying for what we actually use has taken a fixed cost off the books entirely.”
Operations Manager
Frozen Food Producer, Brampton
“Our orders go out frozen, chilled and ambient together, which used to mean three separate providers and three separate deliveries to the same customer. One vehicle with separate zones solved a problem we had stopped trying to fix.”

Common Questions
Frozen at -18°C and below, chilled between 0 and 4°C, and ambient or controlled room temperature space alongside them.
Yes, and most clients need at least two. Holding all three under one contract avoids the handovers between separate providers where chains usually break.
Yes. Stock is picked oldest first and tracked by lot and expiry, which matters more in temperature-controlled work than in dry storage because the product has a defined life.
Yes, on multi-temperature vehicles with separate compartments, so one delivery can cover an order spanning several ranges.
Refrigeration runs on standby power so a supply interruption does not put stock at risk, and alarm monitoring runs continuously.
Yes. Order picking, packing and dispatch are handled from within the temperature-controlled environment rather than by bringing stock out into a warm area.
Yes, including scheduled delivery windows and the delivery requirements individual retailers set.
This page covers practical storage, fulfilment and delivery for food, drink and consumer goods. Our cold chain logistics service covers regulated products such as pharmaceuticals, where validation and documentation requirements are considerably heavier.
No. Space scales with your volume, which is usually the main reason businesses move out of their own cold store.
