cold chain supply chainAs a freshly cooked, frozen product it is critical that our furry-friend’s meals remain frozen throughout the distribution process. Currently servicing the Greater Toronto Area, we use insulated tote bags to keep our meals frozen (lasts about 3-4 hours).
As we continue to grow and expand across Canada this becomes a larger challenge.
We are looking for a team of students to focus on the following:
- Prepare a strategy on the best and most cost effective methods for us to expand our reach from 1 location to multiple, and eventually across Canada.
- Distribution methods to service multiple cities (e.g. one single distribution hub, multiple etc)
- Cost effective methods to keep our product frozen with box/insulation suppliers
- Prepare a list of cold chain logistics companies that also do co-packing that we could reach out to
- Pricing from manufacturing through to delivery to consumer (looking at the end to end supply chain process)
About the company
We have prepared healthy meals made of fresh ingredients: proteins, fruits and vegetables to give dogs the balance of nutrients they need in their diet. Each of our meals have been designed with a holistic veterinarian and nutritionist. We gently cook our meals through a steaming process to preserve the nutrients and remove the risk of bacteria. Our meals contain no preservatives, synthetic vitamins or ingredients that don't provide nutritional value for your dog. This makes our food stand out from the rest with our fresh, natural products. Our goal is that your pup is eating just as healthy as we do, and that through the right nutrition has a long, healthy and happy life with you.
