How We Protect Your Goods Across the Cold Chain – with Live Visibility from Dock to Door

When your products are time- and temperature-sensitive, you need more than cold rooms and trucks – you need certainty. 

At Constellation, we protect your product integrity at every step of the cold chain with fast receiving that limits dwell time, multi-temperature storage matched to your SKUs, freezing and tempering designed to maximise product quality, monitored transport linked to real-time dashboards, and practical contingencies that keep volumes moving during peaks. 

Our aim is simple – fewer risks, clearer visibility, and a service that adapts when conditions change. Here’s how it works.

Protect quality from minute one inside our sites

Fast, controlled receiving that reduces risk

As soon as your goods arrive, we lower exposure at the door. Our efficient loading and unloading services move products quickly into controlled environments. Where it helps, we cross-dock to reduce dwell time and extra handling. You get quicker turnarounds – and fewer points where your product’s quality is at risk.

Right-temperature storage with real-time visibility

Once inbound checks are complete, we hold your products at the right temperature – frozen, supercool chill, regulated temperature, or ambient – in our purpose-built facilities near key ports and road links. Our services support product quality and quick order cycles, while direct EDI and online tools provide real-time stock visibility so your team always knows where your products are.

Freezing and tempering chosen for your products

When a range needs specific treatment, we always use the right method for the job. From blast, chamber, or plate freezing with advanced tempering, we choose the approach that helps maintain texture and quality while meeting your timelines. If some SKUs need a different setup, we will review your freezing and tempering options and align our process to those products.

Keep integrity in transit with connected monitoring

Integrated temperature-controlled transport

When your orders are ready to ship, the same standards continue on the road. Our temperature-controlled transport covers groupage through to full loads and integrates with storage operations for coordinated hand-offs from site to delivery.

Unifying dashboards for proactive decisions

We’re expanding how information flows across our network to give customers clearer, more connected visibility. While integration across all systems is still in progress, our Power BI tools already bring together key data sets – from temperature monitoring to inventory, warehouse performance, and transport – where connections exist. These insights help our teams respond faster and plan with greater accuracy.

Designed-for-efficiency operations that reduce risk

Efficiency and clear information sharing help protect product integrity. In the UK, our partnership with Bidfood shows how aligned planning, measurable visibility, and emissions reduction go hand in hand – with UK EV adoption planned off the back of successful trials in Norway. Fewer empty miles and better data mean steadier temperatures and fewer surprises.

Stay resilient when conditions change

Built-in protection at high-risk touchpoints

Where products are most vulnerable, we add safeguards. Projects like our recent Grimsby expansion include fully frozen loading bays to preserve integrity at the loading bay, plus energy-efficient refrigeration and on-site solar that support stable operations. For you, that means stronger day-to-day handling and resilience during peaks.

Contingency that keeps ports flowing

If conditions change, we use the strength of our network to keep your goods moving. By adjusting capacity and flows between nearby sites, we can respond faster and maintain continuity where others might face delays. Near Danish ports, for example, overflow from Aarhus can be directed to nearby Hobro to keep storage close to the port – an approach we apply in our work with Royal Greenland alongside our longer-term Aarhus expansion project. This flexibility across our network means local challenges can be managed through shared capacity and experience, giving you a more resilient service when it matters most.
