Whether your company handles food, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, or other temperature-sensitive goods, cold chain logistics are integral to your success. A strong cold chain can reduce spoilage, maintain regulatory compliance, and increase customer satisfaction. A weak one can undermine your entire supply chain.
If you’re looking to improve your cold chain logistics or are considering cold storage solutions for the first time, you should be familiar with core cold chain logistics best practices. These will help you operate more efficiently and mitigate risk while scaling sustainably.
It’s easy to assume that cold chain logistics begins and ends in a temperature-controlled facility. In reality, every touchpoint in your supply chain matters. The handoff from the loading dock to a reefer truck, the staging areas in distribution centers, the time spent in transit—all of these affect product integrity.
Before you select a cold storage provider, look at their capabilities across the board. Can they receive freight efficiently? Do they offer cross-docking or transloading services? What kind of monitoring is in place for goods while they’re waiting to ship?
At Porter Logistics, we operate a certified, tech-enabled cold storage building in Georgia. Our 150,000 sq. foot Atlanta facility is strategically located to support fast-moving regional and national supply chains. But we’re way more than just square footage. We help clients streamline inbound and outbound transportation so products stay within spec from dock to dock.
Not every product needs to be frozen. Some require controlled ambient conditions; others need to stay in the 35–40°F range. The best cold storage environments offer flexibility: dedicated temperature zones for frozen, refrigerated, and ambient products, plus a warehouse team that understands the importance of maintaining those thresholds.
Storing products in the wrong zone (even for short periods!) can lead to spoilage or regulatory issues. That’s why our Atlanta cold storage facility is engineered with multiple temperature settings and continuous monitoring. Our team helps clients match the cold storage product profile to the correct environment, and adjust as needed based on seasonality or changes in inventory.
Cold chain logistics doesn’t leave much room for error. The moment something goes wrong, whether that’s a door left open or a cooler malfunction, time is against you. Real-time monitoring systems that track temperature, humidity, and equipment performance are a must. These systems should also integrate with Warehouse Management System (WMS) platforms to ensure inventory visibility at the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) level.
If you’re vetting cold storage partners, ask about their monitoring tech. Are there alerts for temperature excursions? Is the data logged for compliance? Can your team access live reporting? If the answer to each of these questions isn’t a resounding yes, you’re better off seeking out other cold storage providers.
At Porter, every cold zone is outfitted with sensors and alert systems. Our integrated systems give clients access to real-time data, making it easier to plan, audit, and troubleshoot when needed.
Long wait times can throw off delivery windows and increase exposure to temperature fluctuations. A facility with inefficient inbound and outbound operations adds more risk than it removes.
To avoid these issues, look for cold storage providers with strong throughput metrics, multiple loading bays, and experienced warehouse teams. Speed matters—but so does accuracy. Product needs to move quickly, but not at the expense of inventory mismanagement or handling errors.
Our Atlanta cold storage warehouse was built with logistics flow in mind. From staging to outbound dispatch, we’re set up to move high volumes without sacrificing control.
Cold chain logistics works best when your providers aren’t just vendors; they’re collaborators. A good 3PL will help you forecast demand, scale storage intelligently, and solve pain points in your supply chain. They’ll also understand the regulatory environment your products are subject to, whether that’s FDA guidelines for food or GMP requirements for pharmaceuticals.
At Porter Logistics, we work with companies that see cold chain efficiency as a competitive edge. Our team isn’t just here to receive pallets. We’re here to optimize your supply chain.
A member of the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), Porter Logistics offers flexible cold storage solutions out of our Atlanta facility, with temperature-controlled space, inventory visibility, and integrated logistics support. Whether you need a long-term partner or a scalable option for peak season, we can help.
Contact us for a custom solution. Our Atlanta cold storage services are designed to streamline your supply chain and drive your growth.
Cold chain logistics is essential for industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cosmetics, and specialty chemicals. Any product that’s temperature-sensitive during transport or storage can benefit from a well-managed cold chain.
Cold storage facilities often include multiple zones:
Key factors include temperature control capabilities, real-time monitoring, proximity to transportation hubs, inventory visibility, and experience handling your product type. A provider with integrated logistics services can help reduce handoffs and keep products moving smoothly.
Check manufacturer guidelines or compliance requirements. Products that degrade under heat or exposure (such as perishable foods, vaccines, and active pharmaceutical ingredients) almost always require temperature control from the point of manufacture to final delivery. If you’re unsure, give us a call.
While our cold storage operations are based in Atlanta, allowing us to serve major Southeastern markets quickly and efficiently, we also operate facilities in Savannah and Tampa.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly half of all vaccines are wasted each year due to improper temperature control. This statistic highlights the importance of maintaining the cold chain at every stage, including the loading dock.
| The Global Graph is SurgingThe global cold-chain logistics market is projected to grow up to $1.245 billion by 2033. |
As demand surges, so do the stakes. Even a few minutes of uncontrolled exposure at a cold dock can compromise product integrity, safety, and compliance. Cold-storage warehouse operators thus face acute pain points:
How can cold chain teams prevent thermal shock at the dock? How do they balance tight turn-times and staging space requirements with strict traceability rules? To build a fundamental understanding of all this, we spoke with Porter Logistics, a fast-growing 3PL with deep cold-chain expertise, to understand how they manage the complexity of cold dock operations. But first, let’s explore what makes cold docks so much harder to manage than dry docks.
In cold storage facilities, the loading dock environment is fundamentally different from a dry (ambient) dock. Here are the key contrasts:
Because of these factors, cold-dock inventory management also differs. Products in a freezer facility carry a ticking clock (expiration dates and FIFO rotation are critical).
The challenges above translate into higher stakes around operational metrics:
Given these stakes, operational risks at cold docks are magnified, but many can be mitigated through disciplined scheduling and visibility:
Porter Logistics addresses these challenges with a holistic cold-chain approach. As an omnichannel 3PL, Porter blends cold storage in Atlanta with flexible fulfillment and transport services. Key elements of their strategy include:
By combining certified processes with agile services, Porter’s cold storage operation is engineered to meet the highest demands. But what ties it together is intelligent dock management.
To streamline its busy cold docks, Porter Logistics has implemented Arrivy’s dock scheduling software for managing dock operations. It brings automation and visibility to Porter’s loading docks in several ways:
Cold storage loading docks operate at the intersection of extreme environments and high pressure. The consequences of missteps are severe, from product spoilage and wasted profit to safety incidents and compliance failures. Porter’s approach includes validated freezer facilities with 24/7 monitoring, certified quality systems, agile value-added services, and intelligent dock scheduling from Arrivy ensures that cold chain integrity is maintained at every transfer point from inbound to outbound.
In the logistics and warehousing industries, understanding how to read a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is as much a regulatory necessity as it is a potential life-saving measure. When handling hazardous materials, one wrong move due to misunderstanding or lack of information can lead to serious health risks, environmental damage, or costly violations.
Whether you’re handling, shipping, or storing hazardous chemicals, knowing where to find SDSs and how to interpret them can protect your team and keep your facility compliant.
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a detailed document that provides information about the properties, hazards, handling, storage, and emergency procedures for chemicals and substances. SDSs are designed to help employers, employees, first responders, and environmental agencies manage chemical risks.
Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to provide an SDS for every hazardous chemical they supply.
The primary purpose of a Safety Data Sheet is to communicate essential safety and health information about chemicals to those who use or may come into contact with them. This includes:
SDSs are a critical part of a company’s safety protocols and risk management strategies. Without them, workers might not be fully aware, prepared, or equipped to handle dangerous materials.
An SDS is divided into 16 standardized sections under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). These sections ensure that safety data is communicated in a consistent and organized manner worldwide.
Here’s a quick overview of what each section includes:
Each SDS must include accurate and complete data covering the following required elements:
Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are responsible for providing an SDS for every hazardous chemical. However, employers such as warehouse operators, 3PL providers, and logistics firms are responsible for:
Using a Software to track SDS sheets contained in a warehouse is a good best practice. Read about how Porte partnered with Velocity for SDS management here
If a company fails to comply with SDS requirements, it can result in serious OSHA penalties and safety violations.
SDSs are required whenever hazardous chemicals are used or stored in the workplace, transported or handled by employees, and/or supplied to other facilities or customers. This requirement applies to all workplaces under OSHA jurisdiction, including warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics centers.
If an SDS isn’t readily accessible, there’s little point in having one at all. SDSs must be available to all employees during every shift. Today, many companies:
At Porter Logistics, workplace safety is a top priority. We work to ensure that SDSs are always available and regularly reviewed as part of our compliance protocol.
OSHA does not specify an exact timeframe for retaining SDSs, but best practices and some regulatory interpretations recommend keeping SDSs for as long as the chemical is used or stored.
It’s also recommended to retain old SDSs for at least 30 years as part of exposure records (per OSHA standard 1910.1020). Maintaining historical SDSs is important for long-term worker health tracking and legal compliance.
If you’re a manufacturer or distributor introducing a new chemical to the market, you must prepare an SDS that meets GHS standards. Here’s how to create one:
For most companies in logistics and warehousing, creating SDSs isn’t necessary, but knowing how to interpret them is crucial.
When you learn how to read a Safety Data Sheet, you’re doing more than just checking off a compliance requirement, you’re understanding a cornerstone of warehouse safety. Whether you’re managing hazardous freight, running a distribution center, or operating a 3PL warehouse, knowing how to navigate and act on SDS information can make a real difference in workplace safety.
At Porter Logistics, our teams are trained to work safely with chemicals and maintain full SDS compliance across all operations. Looking for a logistics partner that prioritizes safety and compliance? Contact Porter Logistics today to learn how we can support your supply chain needs.
When it comes to supply chain logistics, not all products are created equal. Some are highly sensitive to temperature changes, requiring specialized cold storage and transportation solutions to maintain their integrity and safety. These products make up what’s known as the cold chain—a temperature-controlled supply chain designed to protect perishables from origin to final delivery.
Continue reading to learn about the main types of cold chain products, why they require temperature control, and how businesses can ensure they meet the highest standards for quality and compliance through reliable cold chain solutions.
Cold chain products are goods that must be stored and transported within specific temperature ranges to avoid spoilage, degradation, or loss of efficacy. The required temperature zone can range from ambient (controlled room temperature) to deep freeze, depending on the product type.
Industries that rely heavily on cold chain logistics include:
Now, let’s take a closer look at the types of cold chain products that fall into each category.
Food safety and freshness depend heavily on proper temperature control. The food industry relies on cold chain logistics to comply with regulations like the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and to extend product shelf life.
Common cold chain food products include:
Partnering with a logistics provider that offers cold storage in key markets like Atlanta can reduce transit times and preserve food quality.
Pharmaceutical products often have strict temperature requirements to ensure safety and efficacy. Even minor fluctuations can lead to degradation or render medications ineffective.
Cold chain pharma products include:
Many of these require storage in the 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) range, or even ultra-low temperatures (as low as -80°C) for mRNA vaccines and other cutting-edge therapies.
From probiotics and herbal blends to omega-3 capsules and collagen powders, nutraceuticals often require refrigeration or climate-controlled warehousing to protect shelf life and product efficacy. Many are made with natural or live ingredients that can break down under heat, light, or moisture exposure.
Products in this category may include:
It might come as a surprise, but many cosmetic and personal care items are temperature-sensitive. Products with natural ingredients, active compounds, or preservatives often require temperature control to prevent spoilage or separation.
Examples include:
Improper storage can lead to changes in texture, scent, and effectiveness—damaging both the product and the brand’s reputation. Cold chain logistics helps maintain consistency and consumer trust across every shipment.
Cold chain logistics also plays a critical role in transporting specialty chemicals and lab reagents that degrade or become dangerous if exposed to heat.
These include:
These materials often require documentation and real-time temperature monitoring to remain compliant with environmental and safety regulations. Porter operates 750,000 square feet of certified hazmat chemical warehouse space in Atlanta.
Fresh flowers and plants are highly perishable, requiring cold storage from farm to retailer. From the moment crops are harvested or flowers are cut, temperature fluctuations can accelerate spoilage, reduce freshness, or cause irreparable damage.
Key examples:
For many of these items, maintaining a temperature range of 0°C to 10°C (32°F to 50°F) is critical during post-harvest handling, storage, and transit. Inconsistent refrigeration can lead to wilting, discoloration, microbial growth, or loss of market value.
Many times, a higher price tag comes with higher expectations for care. High-end products like fine wines, cheeses, and gourmet chocolates require precise temperature control to maintain quality and customer satisfaction.
This category may include:
Luxury retailers and distributors rely on refrigerated logistics to protect these delicate goods from melting, spoilage, or crystallization.
Whether you’re storing vaccines or shipping frozen meals, cold chain failure can result in major product loss, safety issues, and financial liability. That’s why it’s critical to work with a trusted 3PL partner that offers:
For any business operating in food, pharma, agriculture, or specialty retail, it’s imperative that you understand the types of cold chain products (and the risks they face without proper temperature control).
At Porter Logistics, we help brands safeguard their cold chain every step of the way with certified, industry-leading cold storage and transportation solutions.
