More value for your investment
The SmartCold business model allows our customers to make accurate and timely decisions regarding the handling of their loads, thanks to the valuable information generated during the time the product is in our hands.
In an industry of perishable products, we know that time is money.
Our inventory management cloud-based system (Salesforce Cloud), facilitates the creation of sales strategies, allowing the customer to access from any place, and through any mobile device, to track – in real time- product availability by: source, size, color and days-on-the floor.
This way, our clients are able to move their loads conveniently.
Safety first
Food safety is our priority. Our efficient food safety system helps us minimize contamination risks in the handling and storage of products.

How this Virtual Tour was made
For aerial photographs I also made bracketing, although the biggest problem is that you have to shoot five times because the Phantom 3 Professional camera allows only 1-step exposure variations, so that to achieve an aerial spherical photograph, you have to perform 135 photos and then process them in Lightroom Classic with PTGui, but the final result is worth it.
