Every day, our 65 professionals process the carcasses into pieces of meat, as ordered by our clients, in temperature-controlled spaces. These orders are then distributed directly from our cutting room in St-Truiden, across Belgium and the Netherlands, without breaking the ‘cold chain’. “We use three tractor trailers, four lorries and two delivery vans for this, all optimally refrigerated”, explains Bruno Daenen, who is the responsible person for transport and logistics at Jo Herbots. “Monitoring and reporting the temperature are requirements when it comes to groceries. All vehicles are equipped with premium temperature sensors. The data provided by these sensors is saved into the GPS-Buddy system. The fact that we can inform our clients proactively about the temperature, the exact location of the driver, and thus the expected delivery time, makes the difference in the client satisfaction.”
