At xpd global Fresh, we understand the importance of operating accurately in the perishable supply chain.
For the correct transportation of food products with controlled temperatures, it is essential to have allies in the export terminals, specific spaces managed by professionals specialized in receiving the different types of food and checking the necessary parameters for their best conservation – between a few hours to entire days – before their departure to their next destination.
In this article we explain how terminals contribute to the export of cherries in excellent condition.
Efficiency at every stage
To ensure efficiency and accuracy in the transportation of perishable goods, at xpd global Fresh we oversee the performance of a number of crucial functions within the terminals. This ensures that our promise of delivering cargo on time and fresh is fulfilled.
- Unloading trucks:The terminals receive trucks loaded with fresh cherries and are responsible for the initial unloading.
- Storage and classificationCherries must be taken to temperature-controlled warehouses and classified according to their destination and the airline that will transport them.
- Cargo security: Procedures are inspected to ensure the safety of the cargo and its arrival in perfect condition at its destination.
- Suitability for air transportTerminals are responsible for preparing cargo to be transported by aircraft, ensuring that it meets quality and safety standards.
- Efficient services. Process automation streamlines the unloading and weighing of cargo, allowing us to comply with the itineraries established by the airlines and deliver both cargo and documentation in optimal conditions.
- Temperature controlThe terminals have cold chambers that maintain specific temperatures (between -2 and 8 degrees Celsius) to guarantee the quality of our cherries.
Precise coordination and exclusive platform
A notable feature is that we have the capacity to coordinate the simultaneous unloading of up to 15 trucks. A process of cross-docking Fast and efficient, with controlled waiting times, is the key to keeping everything running.
Additionally, xpd global Fresh benefits from having an exclusive platform for operations at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (AMB – IATA: SCL). This advantage facilitates close coordination with the terminals, simplifying the identification and labelling of each shipment, especially to destinations such as China and the Far East during the cherry season.
