Short-term storage with temperature control is keeping goods on the UK market for a limited time while holding the required temperature regime. It works when sensitive goods wait for delivery, customs or a decision and the cold chain must not be broken. At OTSL we have such space at the UK warehouse.
When it helps
- Sensitive goods wait for a delivery slot or a consignee decision.
- A batch needs buffering between transport and onward distribution.
- After inspection some goods wait for a ruling and the temperature must hold.
Why temperature continuity is key
With sensitive goods it is not only transport that counts but every stage, including the stop in the warehouse. A break in cooling during storage can undo what was held on the road. That is why temperature-controlled space is part of the same chain, not a separate topic.
How we work
The Milton Keynes warehouse in the UK has temperature-controlled space and runs 24/7, so the buffer does not knock the goods out of regime. We agree the required temperature and storage time individually.
