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.
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.
Who we talk to.

What fmcg and retail customers tend to run.
Storage
One facility, three chambers, 8,400 pallet positions on a movable rack high-density storage system, single setpoint at -18 degrees C. We slot inventory by velocity and code-date in the Logistix WMS so picks stay quick, doors stay shut, and dwell stays low.

Storage and transport are the spine. Value-added is where the product gets ready for the shelf, the website, or the inspector. We run it in-line with the Logistix WMS so the cold chain never breaks for a label swap.

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.”
