What We Do
Six services between the supplier and your dock. Use one, or hand us the whole load.
Procurement & Trading
We buy to your spec (NAMP/IMPS) from US packers and approved plants worldwide, matched to your program, not the week's offer list.
Logistics & Cold Chain
Reefer, cold storage, and drayage, booked and tracked from plant to port, with temperatures logged and kept on file.
Compliance & Documentation
USDA/FSIS, FDA and NOAA export and health certificates, COAs, labels, and destination requirements, verified before the truck leaves. If a dispute arises, the load record settles it.
Traceability & Chain of Custody
One record per load, lot by lot, from production date to your receiving stamp. Ready for an FSMA 204 request or buyer audit.
CPG & Finished Goods
Retail- and foodservice-ready product, branded or private label, alongside your bulk business.
How We Work
Five steps, one record. Each step produces the paperwork the next one needs.
