3PL – Third-Party Logistics

Engineering Resilient Cold Chain Infrastructure for Logistics Providers

The rise of e-commerce, urban distribution hubs, and globalized food and pharma supply chains has made cold chain logistics more complex than ever. Third-party logistics (3PL) providers must handle a wide range of temperature-sensitive products across multiple time zones, compliance frameworks, and customer SLAs — all with precision, speed, and cost-efficiency.

At Gelora Solutions, we support logistics operators with engineered cold chain infrastructure tailored to the operational logic of modern 3PL networks.

3PL – Third-Party Logistics

Operational Challenges in Cold Chain Logistics

3PL companies face a unique mix of requirements:

Multi-temperature management

within a single facility.

High-volume, short dwell-time workflows

(cross-docking, hub-and-spoke).

Product diversity:

from fresh produce to frozen foods and pharmaceuticals

Regulatory compliance

across food, pharma, and retail (HACCP, GDP, ISO22000)

Client-level data integration

for temperature logs and traceability

Key Technical Requirements for
3PL Facilities

Key Technical Requirements for 3PL Facilities

1. Multi-Zone Temperature Control

Segregated areas for frozen (-18 to -25°C), chilled (0–4°C), and ambient (10–15°C)

Fast-closing doors and loading docks with air curtains or dock shelters

PIR-insulated sandwich panels for minimal heat transfer

Redundant refrigeration circuits for operational continuity

Key Technical Requirements for 3PL Facilities

2. Workflow & Handling Optimization

Loading bays designed for fast turnaround and cross-docking

Buffer zones for inbound/outbound staging with thermal isolation

Integration of conveyor systems, racking layouts, and vehicle access corridors

Dedicated hygiene and inspection areas (esp. for food and pharma)

Key Technical Requirements for 3PL Facilities

3. Monitoring, Traceability & Automation

IoT monitoring systems with real-time data on temperature, humidity, and energy use

Interfaces for WMS/ERP platforms and client-level tracking dashboards

Predictive maintenance tools for refrigeration and automation equipment

Alarm systems and access controls to ensure audit-readiness and security

3PL – Third-Party Logistics

Engineering Solutions by Gelora

Gelora Solutions develops custom logistics infrastructure designed for:

Flexible temperature zoning

based on SKU or customer requirements

Energy-efficient operation

with inverter refrigeration, solar-ready plants, and LED lighting

Rapid deployment

using modular prefabricated elements

Scalability

facilities that grow with client demand without requiring structural redesign

Compliance-ready environments

suitable for international distribution

We also support hybrid logistics models that integrate dry storage, value-added processing areas, and last-mile distribution hubs into one unified facility.
