The Agreement outlines a collaboration between Emergent Cold and irexchange that will provide temperature-controlled flow-through distribution-centre transport and fulfilment capability to irexchange, initially within Victoria and then nationally. irexchange is to provide technology and analytical capabilities to facilitate the creation of a next-generation temperature-controlled supply chain capability.
The Agreement with Emergent Cold will support irexchange’s growth into fresh and perishable products and enable irexchange to broaden its customer base.
“We are pleased to partner with irexchange to develop the next generation of supply-chain capability in the temperature-controlled market, especially for smaller independent retailers,” said Greg Holt, Managing Director, Emergent Cold Australia. “There are great synergies between Emergent Cold’s capability and the irexchange platform and technology which we look forward to realising.”
