What does Cold chain mean in logistics?
Short answer
An unbroken series of temperature-controlled storage, handling and transport steps that keeps a product within its specified range from production to consumption. A single break can spoil the product even if every other step was correct.
India’s cold chain spans pack houses, cold stores, reefer trucks and last-mile insulated boxes. The weakest points are usually loading docks, cross-docks and door openings during multi-drop delivery rather than the linehaul itself. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
