Beverage Warehousing and Logistics Experts
Beverage warehousing, inventory management, transportation, and more come with logistical complexities not found with many other products—in part because of Federal Drug Administration (FDA) regulations associated with the industry. Compliance requirements can include product safety procedures along with packaging, labeling, storage, and transporting processes.
Warehousing facilities must meet food-grade storage requirements with the appropriate temperature and humidity controls to preserve freshness. Plus, in beverage warehousing, large numbers of SKUs must be nimbly managed to effectively and cost efficiently address fluctuating supply and demand. Fluctuations can occur because of seasons, but they’re not always this predictable. Then, the beverages must be transported in ways that maintain quality and avoid spoilage. Depending upon the beverage ingredients, spoilage could lead to a food-borne illness.
Fortunately, NXTPoint Logistics excels in food logistics, deftly handling the complex supply chain required to store, manage, and transport beverages and expertly addressing the unique challenges associated with drinkable fluids.

FAQs
This term typically refers to actions taken all along the supply chain: from processing and beverage warehousing to transporting and delivering drinkable liquids. It can also include reverse logistics.
Any beverages that contain ingredients that could spoil or experience quality reduction in certain temperatures or humidity levels—which covers a significant portion of them—need to be part of a cold supply chain. So, quality beverage logistics includes beverage warehousing with temperature or humidity controls to manage environmentally sensitive goods as well as refrigerated transportation. Because of spoilage risks (that, in certain circumstances, could lead to food-borne illnesses), beverage logistics are time sensitive, making efficient handling and delivery crucial.

The beverage supply chain begins with the sourcing of ingredients and the processing of a drinkable fluid. This typically involves cold storage transportation to maintain quality. Drinks can then be stored in beverage warehousing where inventory is managed until it’s time to deliver them to customers such as retailers. Or, in other cases, the beverages could be distributed directly from the processors to the wholesalers or retailers. NXTPoint Logistics offers efficient and cost-effective beverage logistics that meet safety and other compliance requirements.
