Tippmann Innovation of Fort Wayne IN recently completed a cold chain assessment for WAWA Inc, one of the nation’s leading convenience store chains.
Over the past 60 years, WAWA has developed a reputation for quality products. Ranked as America’s favorite convenience store by a Market Force 2017 survey, WAWA operates more than 800 stores along the East Coast and Florida.
Nick Pacitti of Tippmann has a long-standing relationship with the Pennsylvania-based company. For the past 20 years, both parties have worked together to find solutions to broken links in the cold food chain. This summer, Pacitti and the Tippmann consulting team created a customized process in quantifying cold chain performance for product quality from packaging to store delivery and merchandising.
More importantly, the cold chain assessment has led to an array of operating improvements. As the cold chain performs more precisely and well within narrow control limits, opportunities expand for distribution and store delivery improvements. The Tippmann process assures the system works as designed and, as such, provides optimal quality products for consumers, at a much lower cost.
Tippmann’s consulting team is knowledgeable in the development, production and distribution of perishable foods. The cold storage construction company’s experience in cold chain performance bring to the table knowledge and expertise that many processors and distributors do not have.
“A well-designed cold chain management program takes pressure off margins while increasing sales and customer loyalty,” said Rob Adams, Tippmann partner. “Over the last decade, Tippmann Innovation has saved its clients millions of dollars in annual operating costs through creative designs, improvements and management within cold chain operations.”
