01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

What matters for Fruit & Vegetables – and how we turn it into a coordinated transport process.

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

We record variety, packaging, ripening sensitivity and target temperature. Loading considers stacking limits, airflow and clear allocation of pallets to recipients.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

We coordinate collection readiness with market or warehouse windows. Multiple loading points require suitable sequencing, loading times and product compatibility.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Delivery checks cover quantities, packaging condition and pallet exchange. Deviations are recorded as agreed so receiving and dispatch have the same information.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

Temperature range, hygiene requirements and quality records are agreed to suit the goods.

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Grower → central food warehouse

Several varieties must reach a shared delivery window after harvest. Readiness, temperatures and loading sequence are coordinated before collection.

What brings the plan together.

Fresh fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs

  • Product temperature
  • Packaging and stackability
  • Market or warehouse time window

The goal: coordinate goods, time slots and handover in a single transport order.
