Cold Chain Logistics Terminology
Here are some industry terms (in context of Ninja Cold) that will help you follow along with confidence:
| Cold chain | A temperature-controlled supply chain where goods are kept within a specific temperature range from origin to destination. For Ninja Cold, this involves refrigerated trucks, insulated packaging and real-time monitoring. |
| Frozen delivery | Shipping goods kept at deep-freeze temperatures (e.g., –18 °C to –20 °C) so that they remain solid and safe (think ice-cream, frozen seafood). |
| Cold delivery / Chilled delivery | Shipping items kept just above freezing (e.g., 0 °C to 8 °C) but not frozen. Suitable for fresh meat, dairy, fruits, drinks. |
| End-to-end visibility | The ability to monitor a shipment every stage (pickup → truck → storage → final mile) to ensure temperature integrity and on-time arrival. |
| B2B / B2C | Business-to-Business (B2B) means one company serving another (e.g., food wholesaler to retail chain). Business-to-Consumer (B2C) means delivering from company straight to end-customer (e.g., e-commerce food order to home). |
| ISO 23412 | A Japanese standard for cold-chain handling that – in Malaysia’s case – signals higher quality assurance. Ninja Cold is certified with this standard. Read more on the official launch of Ninja Cold here: “Redefining Cold Chain Logistics” – Ninja Cold Officially Launches in Malaysia |
How Ninja Cold Frozen Delivery Works
So how does Ninja Cold deliver on promises of “frozen delivery” and “cold delivery”? Let’s break down the workflow step-by-step and highlight what makes it stand out.
1. Initial consultation / pickup
- You contact Ninja Cold (via here), provide details of your temperature-sensitive goods (type, volume, origin, destination).
- Packaging and pickup are arranged. If items require chilled or frozen state, appropriate packaging (insulated boxes, cooling plates) is used.
2. Temperature-controlled transit
- Ninja Cold maintains dedicated temperature zones; for example: 18 °C–25 °C for ambient sensitive goods; 0 °C–8 °C for chilled; –18 °C to –20 °C for frozen.
- The goods move via refrigerated trucks or vans, with specialised handling at each stage to preserve integrity.
- Real-time tracking allows you to monitor shipment temperature and location.
3. Storage / warehousing (if required)
- For shipments needing interim storage, Ninja Cold provides temperature-controlled warehouse options, integrated into the chain.
4. Last-mile delivery
- The final leg to the customer or retail outlet is also temperature-controlled; the frozen or chilled items remain within the required band until delivery.
- Delivery times vary: for example, within the Klang Valley next-day; between states 1-3 business days. (Check the full delivery time for Ninja Cold of the FAQ section of our website: HERE)
5. Proof & post-delivery compliance
- You receive tracking, temperature logs, delivery confirmation – helping maintain compliance (especially important for pharmaceuticals or regulated goods).
