Cold chain network

Thirty-three facilities across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Northern California: cold stores, cross-docks, processing plants, port reefer terminals and grocery DCs. Each lists its temperature zones, pallet positions, dock doors, FSMA and SQF status and open capacity. When a facility goes down, a planner filters for frozen space with 20 percent or more open, finds the closest match and taps Check capacity. States are shaded by lane volume so gaps in coverage show up at a glance.

A sample map: its businesses and people are invented.

The use case

Who needs a map like this

Who it’s for

Supply-chain and logistics heads at grocery distributors, food manufacturers and 3PLs with refrigerated networks

What it’s worth

Spoiled loads and expedited freight cost far more than the map does. When a freezer goes down or a port berth backs up, planners see every other cold store, its temperature zones and open pallets on one screen, and reroute in minutes instead of paging through a spreadsheet.

What to notice in this map

  • Filter by temperature zone, pallet positions and open capacity
  • Five categories: cold stores, cross-docks, plants, ports and DCs
  • FSMA and SQF certified filter for audit-sensitive loads
  • Check capacity button calls each facility's planner desk
  • Quiet state shading by lane volume index

Make one like it in an afternoon

You don't need a developer. These are the four steps, in Create Mappins.

  1. Step 1

    Create a directory map and add fields: Temperature zones (multiple choice), Pallet positions, Dock doors, Available capacity (%) and FSMA and SQF certified (yes or no). Turn on filter for the ones planners search by.

  2. Step 2

    Add five categories, such as Cold storage, Cross-dock, Processing plant, Port terminal and Grocery DC, each with its own color and sticker.

  3. Step 3

    Add a phone field named Planner desk with the button Check capacity, then add each facility by address, or import your facility sheet (Pro).

  4. Step 4

    Add the US states layer limited to your region, shade it by a Lane volume index column, set the start view and publish. Share the link with planners or embed it in your intranet.
