Big Chill Distribution Chooses TransLogix

New Zealand, 1 June 2010

Leading Australian transport and logistics solutions provider TransLogix has announced today Big Chill Distribution, a specialist express delivery of chilled and frozen product throughout New Zealand, has chosen the TransLogix Sapphire Transport Management Suite to provide a totally integrated logistics system to manage its freight management operations in real time.

Big Chill Distribution operates a fleet of 60 (line haul and metro) refrigerated trucks and specialise in express delivery of cartons or pallets throughout New Zealand of either chilled or frozen consignments. From the main centres (and most other areas) they are able to offer next day delivery service.  With the long established relationships with other freight companies Big Chill Distribution ensures deliveries can be made even if their own truck does not go there.

TransLogix CEO, Anselm Waterfield said "It's exciting for us to see not only how Big Chill Distribution can benefit now from TransLogix now, but how they plan to use it to expand their use of technology in the future."
