ColdStar Logistics, a temperature-controlled supply chain solutions provider, has entered into a long-term partnership with abCoffee, a grab and go coffee brand.
As part of this collaboration, ColdStar’s temperature-controlled and ambient supply chain solutions and warehousing services will enable abCoffee to deliver its signature beverages and ingredients fresh, in top quality and on time to customers in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Uttar Pradesh.
ColdStar’s advanced IoT sensors for real-time temperature monitoring, AI-driven predictive tech stack, and route optimization technology implemented right from storage to last-mile distribution, will ensure the freshness and uninterrupted supply of products by abCoffee.
“Our partnership with abCoffee is a testament to ColdStar’s commitment to enabling India’s fast-evolving F&B landscape through a ‘Never Stock Out’ strategy which is core to our mission. We prevent stock outs and enable market responsiveness for our clients giving them the assurance to deliver on their promise of quality and taste to their consumers, every single time,” said Sameer Varma, executive director, ColdStar Logistics.
By addressing critical challenges for abCoffee like maintaining product freshness, preventing temperature excursions, ensuring timely and accurate restocking, and providing transparent tracking across the entire cold chain, ColdStar minimises product spoilage, stockouts, and supply chain inefficiencies for the brand.
“What helped us zero in on ColdStar as our long-term partner was their extensive pan-India network, advanced technology stack, rigorous operational protocols, and ‘Never Stock Out’ commitment. Their expertise in multi-temperature handling for storage and transport of fresh goods is unparalleled,” said Abhijeet Anand, founder and CEO of abCoffee.
ColdStar’s robust warehousing, and pan-India distribution network spans 7,000+ pin codes across 200+ cities. Founded in 2022, abCoffee currently has 75+ outlets pan India.
In addition to this collaboration, abCoffee has also entered into a strategic partnership with Cityflo, a leading tech-enabled urban mobility provider. Through this association, abCoffee will offer its freshly brewed beverages and curated menu to passengers on select Cityflo routes in Mumbai, enabling them to pre-order via the Cityflo app and receive their orders directly at their seats.
The end-to-end beverage experience, from order processing and preparation to onboard delivery will be supported by ColdStar’s temperature-controlled supply chain, ensuring consistent quality and freshness even in transit.
