Challenge
A global customer managing international bulk shipments faced a growing challenge: the high cost and operational complexity of using dry ice. With increasing pressure to streamline processes, reduce expenses, and maintain compliance, the need for a more efficient alternative became clear.
Solution
Veritiv collaborated closely with the customer and vendor partners to design a solution that eliminated dry ice while ensuring temperature integrity and regulatory compliance. Our approach focused on innovation, cost analysis, and seamless implementation.
Here’s what we delivered:
- Our Pallet Cover: Maintains 2°C–25°C for 24 hours (no dry ice required).
- Collaborative testing and validation with the vendor to ensure performance and compliance.
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) evaluation led by an internal operations champion to quantify savings.
- Seamless vendor partnership enables flexible pricing and rapid deployment across global lanes.
Results
The impact was significant:
- $600,000 annual cost savings by eliminating dry ice.
- Simplified supply chain operations and reduced handling complexity.
- Improved sustainability and compliance for international shipments.
