JS Davidson expands offering to include end to end freight solutions

Temperature-controlled and supply chain solutions specialist JS Davidson has expanded its offering to include a comprehensive range of freight services. 

 

Providing services that span air, sea, road, and rail freight in addition to the company’s frozen, chilled and ambient offering, JS Davidson is now equipped to coordinate shipments to ensure timely arrivals and product integrity while also taking care of customs clearance and documentation requirements. 

 

Traditionally focused on temperature-controlled storage and distribution, JS Davidson has also recently expanded its services to include distribution, co-packing, and storage in response to customer demand. 

 

Its recent addition of freight services has now further extended the company’s offering to include shipping, storage through to final delivery.

 

This latest addition to its suite of services comes at a time where customers are actively seeking integrated cold chain logistics solutions in order to reduce the complexity of managing multiple providers and ensure the integrity of their goods across the entire supply chain. 

 

With demand for frozen products increasing year on year, largely driven by the cost-of-living crisis and consumers becoming more attuned to the effect of food wastage, the requirement for cold chain logistics services has equally grown exponentially. 

 

Over the past decade alone the retail sales value of frozen food has spiked by 50 per cent, with much of this growth occurring within the past five years.  

 

Such is the extent of the demand that JS Davidson earlier this year took over GXO’s cold store arm in  Spalding warehouse complete with 6500 frozen pallet spaces. 

 

Boasting a wide portfolio of customers, with many being based across the UK, Europe and beyond, JS Davidson’s new offering enables them to ensure that integrity of its customers products is upheld from the point of departure through to arrival at its cold stores. 

 

According to John Davidson, Managing Director at JS Davidson, providing customers with a one-stop-shop logistics offering will not only streamline processes but gives customers peace of mind by ensuring their products are shipped, handled, stored and distributed at the right temperature throughout their journey – helping to save on time, cost and the potential for wastage. 

 

John commented: “The decision to incorporate freight solutions into our growing suite of solutions has largely been driven by shifting customer attitudes, and an increasing requirement for guaranteeing product integrity across the logistics process.  

 

“By bringing everything under one roof we’re not only reducing the hassle of dealing with multiple providers, which undoubtedly must be a frustrating and time-consuming task, but we can also give assurances that their temperature sensitive shipments are being managed with total care and precision.

 

“Ultimately, this integrated approach enables customers both existing and new to focus on what they know best – their day-to-day operations – while giving them the confidence that their logistics needs are being expertly managed by a provider they know and trust.”

 

John continued: “By having one point of contact, we can also reduce the risk of miscommunication and ease the complexities associated with coordinating logistics between various third-party providers. 

 

“Maintaining control and visibility over the cold chain process is essential. So, by offering a one stop solution, we can also ensure that if or when problems arise along the logistics process, that they will be dealt with efficiently and quickly because we’ll be there every step of the way.”
