Real-Time Tracking Solutions for Perishable Deliveries

This case study details the implementation of real-time tracking solutions by Armellini Logistics to enhance the delivery of fresh-cut flowers. The document outlines the challenges faced by Armellini, particularly during peak demand periods such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, when the company relies on leased trucks that previously lacked tracking technologies. The study explains how Armellini partnered with Copeland to install GO real-time 2G trackers on their leased trucks, which improved visibility of in-transit shipments and allowed for better monitoring of delivery ETAs and temperature control. Following the obsolescence of 2G networks, the company upgraded to 4G/5G trackers to maintain tracking efficiency. The results indicate a significant improvement in delivery visibility, increasing from 10% to over 90%, and enhanced customer service through real-time notifications and temperature monitoring, ensuring that fresh-cut flowers are delivered in optimal conditions.
