COMPREHENSIVE FOOD & BEVERAGE WAREHOUSING SOLUTIONS

Our warehousing solutions combine specialized infrastructure with the latest technology to simplify your operations:

• Temperature‑controlled storage: OLIMP facilities offer ambient, climate‑controlled, refrigerated and frozen zones. Maintaining precise temperatures helps preserve quality and extend shelf life. For example, climate‑controlled zones hold 50–65 °F and refrigerated zones 33–55 °F, while frozen storage is below 32 °F.
• Advanced inventory management: Real‑time WMS, barcode/RFID scanning and automated alerts ensure accurate stock levels, lot‑ and batch‑level tracking and First‑In‑First‑Out (FIFO) rotation for perishables. Effective inventory management prevents shortages and overstocking.
• Cross‑docking: Strategically located cross‑dock facilities transfer goods directly from inbound trailers to outbound carriers, reducing handling time and storage costs. Cross‑docking expedites delivery and boosts throughput, making warehousing for food and beverage more efficient.
• Pallet rework services: Damaged or shifted loads are unloaded, inspected, rebalanced and re‑wrapped to meet shipping requirements. This ensures that deliveries arrive intact and prevents costly rejections.

Flexible, on‑demand space: Scale storage up or down with no long‑term commitment. Our network lets you store anything from a single pallet for a day to hundreds of pallets for seasonal peaks.
 

What is Beverage Warehousing?

Beverage warehousing refers to the specialized storage and handling of drinks-both alcoholic and non‑alcoholic-that require tight environmental controls. Proper storage preserves taste, aroma and safety; for instance, wine is typically kept between 55 °F and 59 °F, while beer stores best at 34 °F to 38 °F. Cold storage helps prevent oxidation and spoilage, ensuring your beverages reach customers in peak condition.

Food and beverage warehouses must meet stringent safety standards to prevent contamination and protect consumers. Food‑grade warehousing is defined by specific requirements such as temperature control, sanitation, pest control and hygiene. Two primary facility types exist-dry storage for non‑perishable items and refrigerated storage for perishables.

Regulatory frameworks like the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) require warehouses to implement preventative controls rather than respond to contamination. FDA‑certified facilities adhere to FSMA guidelines and undergo regular audits. Failure to maintain proper sanitation can lead to bacterial or pest infestations.

Key compliance requirements include:

• FDA certification & FSMA compliance: Food‑grade warehouses must be registered with the FDA, follow FSMA preventive controls and undergo regular audits. Roughly 48 million Americans get sick from foodborne illnesses each year, underscoring the need for rigorous compliance.
• Sanitation & pest control: Facilities must enforce strict cleaning schedules, pest control programs and hygienic practices. Workers should wash hands frequently and follow training programs.
• Temperature control: Warehouses must verify that perishables stay within safe ranges; insufficient refrigeration equipment is a violation of FSMA.
• Traceability & record‑keeping: Robust systems track each pallet or lot from receipt to shipment. Lot/batch records support rapid recalls and regulatory reporting.
• Employee training: Staff should be trained in food safety protocols, handling procedures and emergency response.

OLIMP partners exclusively with FDA‑registered warehouses that hold SQF or ASI Food Safety certifications. Facilities undergo third‑party audits, enforce 24/7 temperature and humidity monitoring with backup power, and follow HACCP‑based procedures to prevent contamination. Detailed lot and batch tracking gives customers confidence in the integrity of every product.
