Logistics is a crucial stage in the life of retail, encompassing stock management and everything related to the warehouses and internal/external organization of major national retail chains. The goal is to ensure that the product desired by the customer is in the right place, at the agreed-upon time, in the expected quantity.

Primarily dedicated to managing the flow of goods, the purpose of retail logistics is to efficiently and promptly deliver customer orders under the best economic conditions. It involves organizing and implementing the shipment of goods from the supplier’s location (manufacturer, distributor, etc.) to the final consumption location, all while adhering to specific requirements.
Products must be delivered in the requested quantity and quality, within the specified deadlines. Therefore, adopting best practices (minimizing breakages, anticipating certain administrative formalities, intermodality, and accelerating transshipment times) is essential.

The logistics of food products involves coordinating operations for the transfer of goods from the production site through preparation to the final consumer.

However, due to its perishable nature, this flow requires more precautions and monitoring than any other type of flow. Except for canned goods, alcohol, and some dry foods, the composition of food is susceptible to deterioration. Therefore, working with products that need to be consumed before a specific date is necessary. Traceability, compliance with hygiene standards, and temperature control are also essential elements to include in the logistician’s considerations. PRÉVOTÉ LOGISTIQUE has a team of professionals to assist and advise you in managing your agri-food logistics.

Faced with significant transport constraints such as fixed-time appointments, adherence to narrow time slots, and the identification requirements of retail pallets (mandatory SSCC codes), we are organized to overcome and best meet the demands of this sector.
