Tricont will use Flowspace’s best-in-class software to
streamline the growth of Tricont Logistics, which services all
types of customers, primarily urgent, complex supply chains. The
partnership allows the produce giant to continue leveraging its
assets and growing its third-party logistics business, while also
expanding capacity for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands
requiring temperature-controlled facilities within Flowspace’s
existing network.
Ecommerce presents a significant opportunity for CPG brands,
with food and beverage growing more quickly than any other
ecommerce category, per Insider Intelligence. Yet this growth
potential is hampered by the scarcity of fulfillment partners
capable of offering the temperature-controlled facilities and
specialized services– including lot tracking, SKU-level reporting,
and customizable picking logic – needed for many CPG products.
Together Tricont and Flowspace offer these brands the full-service
fulfillment solution needed to power digital commerce growth and
ensure efficient, convenient delivery to their customers.
An expert in cold chain logistics, Tricont will leverage
Flowspace’s OmniFlow software to orchestrate and optimize
omnichannel fulfillment within its facilities for fulfillment and
enhance its logistics capabilities.
"Flowspace software streamlines the end-to-end fulfillment
operation, improving visibility and orchestration for merchants and
fulfillment operators alike,” said Frank Garcia, SVP of Operations,
Flowspace. “Together with Tricont, we are reshaping the logistics
landscape for CPG companies, setting a new standard for excellence
in fulfillment.”
While Del Monte is known for providing fresh produce, its other
business lines are powerhouses on their own, particularly its
logistics network. The company owns Network Shipping, a third-party
shipping network that transports goods across the world as well as
Tricont Trucking and Tricont Logistics, which utilize the company’s
ships, ports, trucks and temperature-controlled warehouses
strategically located throughout 34 facilities in North America.
Del Monte’s logistics arm continues to grow as the company
identifies new ways to optimize its assets and generate additional
streams of income.
“We’re excited to partner with Flowspace as a way to further
optimize the use of our temperature-controlled storage facilities
for third parties,” said Ziad Nabulsi, Fresh Del Monte’s Senior
Vice President of North America Operations. “We believe Flowspace’s
technology designed to facilitate ecommerce and retail fulfillment
will help us continue expanding our Tricont Logistics business to
be able to offer our best-in-class logistics services to more
customers.”
Recently recognized as a leading provider of fulfillment
software and services, Flowspace is trusted by more than 500 brands
to enable efficient, reliable omnichannel fulfillment from any
source to any end customer. Its open platform is equipped to
integrate with systems, channels, and partners across the retail

third-party marketplaces, brick-and-mortar retailers, and
beyond.
