FMCG and retail cold chain at Colden Mehsana
FMCG and retail

DC injection, club-pack assembly, and the OTIF numbers your buyers actually measure.

Indian FMCG and grocery buyers do not buy 3PL services. They buy OTIF, fill rate, and a clean monthly debit note report. We run the cold side of the supply chain so those numbers stay on the right side of the contract.

The vertical

What fmcg and retail looks like at Colden.

FMCG and grocery is a debit note business. Miss a delivery window by an hour, or pop a temperature alarm on a trailer, and the debit note hits before the invoice is filed. Colden runs FMCG volume on the assumption that every move will be audited. Outbound reefer trailers are pre-cooled and temperature-sealed at dispatch from the Mehsana yard. PODs come back electronically within 30 minutes of stop close. Debit note reconciliation runs monthly with your accounts payable team, and we publish a rolling OTIF per customer so nobody is surprised at the quarterly business review.

Frozen FMCG, national modern trade

Three chambers on one setpoint, conveyor-fed inbound, and a 50+ reefer yard meant our DC injection went from a quarterly debit note conversation to a routine review.
