Customer benefits: Our customer portal, DataHub, is a web and mobile-based platform which generates real-time data, status updates, shipping documents and quality pictures pertaining to any shipment a customer has going through Able Freight Services. Our DataHub platform provides instant visibility of the temperature, humidity, and positioning of the cargo, all crucial data points, any fluctuations of that data in-transit, and all of the related documents to a customer’s shipment (Airway Bills, Bills of Lading, Invoices, Quality Checks, and Proof of Delivery). DataHub allows for streamlined digital documentation and more efficient communications, while enabling better informed and more proactive decision-making. Based on a blockchain conception. PRODUCE Fresh fruits and vegetables, with the sensitive need for exact temperature control, is where Able Freight brings into play more than a quarter decade of experience and proven track records. PRODUCE | Fresh fruits and vegetables, with the sensitive need for exact temperature control, is where Able Freight brings into play more than a quarter decade of experience and proven track records. Description Fresh produce is known for providing nutritious benefits when consumed. Produce is also known for its very short-shelf life. As a result, there is virtually no room for errors during transportation. Whether it is storing produce or while in-transit, proper temperature control preserves the product's quality and maximizes the shelf-life. In order to get berries from California or Mexico to Asia, air freight is the best method of transportation. As a result, this will allow the end-consumer the opportunity to enjoy the freshness and quality. Produce such as apples and oranges almost always travel by ocean freight due to their longer shelf-life, in addition to cost effectiveness. PROTEIN, POULTRY AND DAIRY Meat, poultry and dairy are perishable products with a short shelf life and therefore short selling times. The maintenance of quality and safety is critical. PROTEIN, POULTRY AND DAIRY | Meat, poultry and dairy are perishable products with a short shelf life and therefore short selling times. The maintenance of quality and safety is critical. Customer benefits: For these products, the shelf-life is heavily reliant on temperature control, in storage and in-transit. Our highest priority is to maintain in-transit temperatures, in addition to ensuring all documents required for each destination are provided. Exporting these products involves complex regulatory requirements; these requirements are variable per destination country. Food and safety regulations by US Food and Drug Association (FDA) warn that bacteria spreads at an exponential rate within protein, poultry and dairy, in the event of temperature fluctuation exceeding 41°F (5 °C). For these reasons, any spikes in temperature exceeding the mandated limits can have detrimental results to end-consumer. For these reasons, we are meticulous in ensuring the cold chain integrity for the entire duration we are involved handling your freight. SEAFOOD Whether it is importing or exporting seafood products, we possess the specialized capabilities to meet the demand of the global seafood supply-chain. SEAFOOD | Whether it is importing or exporting seafood products, we possess the specialized capabilities to meet the demand of the global seafood supply-chain. Customer benefits: We have many years of experience handling and transporting live fish, as well as frozen seafood. Importing from various locations throughout the world and exporting to over 70 countries, we have established the necessary operating procedures to best serve your needs. The importance of ensuring the cold chain, per FDA guidelines and regulations, is imperative and our top priority. Like protein, poultry and dairy, the spread of bacteria is unforgiving if the temperature of the seafood shipment exceeds 41°F (5 °C). Abiding by HACCP regulatory instructions when handling perishable commodities requires us to identify areas for mishaps to occur, whether it is during receiving, delivering, pulling or storing, and create a plan of action in the event of temperature spikes. With experience, we have proven solutions and operating procedures to handle your seafood shipments in accordance to all the compliance and regulatory measures involved. PHARMACEUTICALS We offer dedicated controlled room temperatures (CRT) when storing and transporting temperature dependent medicines. PHARMACEUTICALS | We offer dedicated controlled room temperatures (CRT) when storing and transporting temperature dependent medicines.

It was less than a week into the fourth quarter of 2020, when GrubMarket, a grocery delivery platform, announced that it had raised $60 million in a new round of funding. The startup hadn t planned on raising more than $20 million, but in our pandemic altered world, GrubMarket is now worth between $400 and $500 million.Grocery delivery is one of the few trades making it out of coronavirus unscathed. According to grocery consulting firm Brick Meets Click, grocery delivery customers ballooned from 13.1 million in August 2019 to 43 million in May 2020. Customers hesitance to be in a crowded store cemented the popularity of delivery services.This is likely the new normal, even after the pandemic ends. In August, the IBM Retail Index found that the coronavirus had accelerated e-commerce growth by five years.As with any change, there are growing pains. The rising popularity of grocery delivery will inevitably generate concerns about compliance, food safety, and waste with grocery store managers. Matters like warehouse space or automation may be familiar territory for apparel or furniture, but they raise questions that are still novel for many a grocer. As for customers, years of delivery tracking and conscious consumption have primed them to want to know more about where their food comes from and how it gets to their kitchen.Of course, the challenges aren t limited to stores. Some challenges that logistics service providers can expect to see include meeting a short delivery window (one-hour delivery, anyone?), being on time, and delivering in the first attempt.With so many changes happening so quickly, the last thing that producers should have to worry about is spoiled or damaged food. This is why a resilient cold chain is so important.

Then the Internet of Things Is Your Friend. Read more November - 12 - 2020 Shipping Pharmaceuticals? Then the Internet of Things Is Your Friend. November - 12 - 2020 Have you heard of the Internet of Things? As a shipper, odds are pretty good that you have engaged with it, even if the phrase doesn t sound familiar. The Internet of Things (or IoT) is the concept of connecting non-traditional devices to the internet. If an item has an on/off switch, it could potentially be a part of the IoT and talk to other devices.This technology has major implications for pharmaceuticals. The challenges that the IoT addresses go beyond convenience, to facilitate distribution of life saving drugs.One way that is happening is with temperature sensors. If you are reading this blog, you probably know that pharmaceuticals must be kept within a specific temperature range. Fall outside of it and you risk damaging your wares. But temperature fluctuations are almost inevitable (and hard to pinpoint). The International Air Transport Association finds that 20% of temperature sensitive products are damaged and 25% of vaccines are degraded by the time they reach their location. This is during a normal year. Now imagine losing 20% of Covid vaccines.Fortunately, the Internet of Things can address this. Gary Bull, Managing Director, Able Freight Services LLC, adds: Carriers and shippers are using the IoT to track temperatures and locations throughout the shipping journey. Sensors can detect temperature changes, and can alert all involved operational team members if it falls outside of an optimal range . The IOT technology also collects valuable data, giving freight forwarders a way to identify problematic parts of the journey (say, if a shipment sits on a runway exposed to heat for too long).You can bet the farm that when Covid vaccinations are shipped, there will be a temperature sensor on most of shipments, and the data it produces will be closely monitored and analyzed.If you are an Able Freight customer, you can take advantage of this technology. DataHub, our in house digital platform, tracks shipments from start to finish, including location, temperature and humidity trackers.Not familiar with DataHub, or curious to learn more? Give us a call or contact us atsales@ablefreight.com, and we ll get you set up! Back to Able news Mexican produce exports destined for continuous growth Read more November - 01 - 2020 In just the last year, Mexico has initiated eight new agricultural export markets, including blackberries export to China and mangos to Australia , states Xavier Ripoll, Director of Marketing, Able Freight Services. Not only are Mexico s perishable food exports expanding in reach, but the existing markets are seeing significant growth mangos, various berries, avocados, limes, papayas, pineapples, citrus, bananas, figs, and pitahayas or dragon fruit.Mexico easily has the largest market share of avocados exported worldwide. Peak season runs October through February, but like berries, avocados are experiencing an extended production season. From the market year of July 2019 to June 2020, exports to the United States reached a record-breaking $2.4 billion (USD), and another 6% increase is expected next year. Globally, the entire avocado market could reach $21.56 billion (USD) by 2026, a sizeable growth compared to the $13.64 billion (USD) value in 2018 (3).Overseas, the demand for Mexican avocados in the Middle East has the opportunity for long-term growth. While the market share decreased in 2019 for that region, it has rebounded in the last year on account of year-round production in Michoacan, the state of Mexico providing 74% of the national output. With Emirates SkyCargo now flying in and out of Guadalajara Airport (GDL) as of October 2020, Mexican growers are positioned for further success in the Middle Eastern market.Mexican mango season, which runs from March through July, benefits from following the Peruvian season of January and February, as this brings more demand and growth to the Mexican market. Mangos in general are gaining popularity in Europe, namely in the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany, as well as in Asia. Interestingly, although Spain produces what is commonly considered a better-tasting mango, European grocery stores elect to carry the cheaper varieties of mango such as those from Latin America and South America.Berry season in Mexico is typically known as October through May, which in the United States, supplements the spring through summer berry season. In recent years, Mexico has had success with extending their growing season to nearly year-round. Blueberries are moved by a truck even in July and August, and other berries, such as blackberries, are active through June.Vijay Nallamilli, Country Manager (Mexico) at Able Freight Services, adds: Able Freight offers growers the advantage of alignment with our proven partners in Europe as well as the ability to facilitate a consistent flow of product from Mexico to global consumer markets. Back to Able news On Tuesday, August 25th, 2020, an Antonov 124 flew to Campinas, in the southeast region of Brazil. The airplane landed at the Viracopos International Airport at 11:33 AM local time. Normally, a high capacity cargo plane landing at an airport would not be newsworthy. But this was one example of a growing trend for Brazil. As the country s perishableimports and exports continue to increase, it requires parallel development in infrastructure to accommodate the new growth in business.In July 2020 alone, Brazil shipped out $10 billion worth of agriculture products, an 11.7% year over year increase. Brazil s exports to China alone totaled $3.85 billion in the first seven months of 2020, as the South American country replaces the United States as a supplier of agricultural products. And that s just in one sector. In 2018, Brazil exported $1.19 billion in pharmaceutical products. The country imports much more. A study fromBrazil s Association of Pharmaceutical Research finds that the market can expect to grow from $39 billion in 2020 to $43 billion in 2023.But Brazil s export capabilities are highlighting a gap.According to the Brazilian Association of Producers and Exporters of Fruits and Derivatives, Brazil is only the twenty-third largest exporter, despite being the third-largest fruit producer in the world. Logistics snags, particularly as the world grapples with Covid, are holding Brazil back from becoming a larger participant in the world market.It all points to a need for cold chain infrastructure and optimized processes. Pharmaceuticals and produce both require specific handling procedures, and that s only the beginning of the story. Most of these products have a limited shelf life and require very specific and seamless temperature controls. What is needed is a fresh cold chain strategy in the country , says Alex Brandao, Business Development for LATAM at Able Freight. A strategy that allows produce and pharmaceuticals transportintact, it s economically viable and at the highest quality levels .It s time to unleash the power of Brazil on a global scale! Back to Able news If you are new to exporting, you may be pondering this question. If you don t feel prepared to navigate the documentation, insurance, handling requirements, rate negotiations, and customs challenges that come with international shipping of perishable goods and pharmaceuticals, you may want to hire a specialist to handle it.An air freight forwarder is an expert at the shipping process, who will make sure that your cargo gets where it needs to be. They will manage bookings, negotiate rates, and handle whatever bumps come up along the way. That way, you can focus on your product and your business growth minus the headache of trying to distribute it, too.Of course, there are some things to watch out for. It s important to get a good price. But compromising on service - particularly in the cold chain - isn t an option! Your perishables freight forwarder must stay on top of the details, be transparent in communication with you, and have a record of excellent service.Enter Able Freight. We specialize exclusively in moving temperature-sensitive cargo. Able has been in operation for over 28 years, with more than 400 employees across seven facilities, and 75 specialized cold chain partners around the globe (or as we like to call them, local heroes ). 99.97% of our shipments are claim-free.At Able Freight, we are just as committed to technology as we are to customer service. Team members are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to assist you.

If moving temperature sensitive cargo is in your future, give us a call. We would love to help you out! Back to Able news Consider the effect of a manager who actively has his or her hand in every task of a team of people. The model may work for small operations, but if the workload increases, the manager will be unable to keep up with demands, and the performance of the entire operation will suffer. A manager stepping back and trusting the experts on the team is a similar idea to outsourcing. There are enough benefits to be gained by outsourcing that it should be a top priority to make the transition as soon as it is feasible.The outsourcing of cold chain logistics can be one of the biggest moves to increase a farmer s, retailer s or trader s competitive advantage. They stand to gain efficiency, cost-savings, and the benefit of additional resources like technology. Andrew Russell, Sales and Marketing of Able Freight, adds: By strategically outsourcing logistics responsibilities, it provides your employees more time to focus on core activities. As a result, companies have experienced improvements in their internal operations and an increase in overall efficiency. Before outsourcing, a supplier of fresh fruit or vegetables would be concerned with the best way to ensure their produce stays at the optimal temperature range throughout the cold chain. They would have their own system of monitoring and their process of responding to errors. If there was a claim, it would take a significant amount of time to stay on top of the resolution.By outsourcing these areas that are not the essential focus of the company, they can instead concentrate on growth, sales and market reach and have the confidence in the expertise of their logistics provider. Let the expert handle the logistics so the farmer, trader, or retailer can do what they do best: Grow quality product, sell and market it!A perishables logistics company will already have the expert knowledge, connections, and systems to solve your company s global logistics challenges efficiently. They bring you cost-savings as they re able to hone in on the best process, cutting the time and effort it takes to complete the tasks. If you re experiencing growth and need to scale quickly as well as demonstrate focus on revenue creation, there is no waste in navigating how to take your company there the logistics providers have already navigated that process for many years for you.Logistics companies are also working with access to valuable resources. They have fleet networks with competitive rates due to the volume of their total business, offer direct buyer relationships and they have the technology to aid in shipment management, visibility, and reporting. The benefits of these resources extend to your business and have a direct impact on the bottom line. Able Freight can elevate your cold chain logistics and give your business the upper-hand it needs to grow.
