Frozen Dessert Courier

We specialise in equipping businesses with the dedicated resources essential for secure, reliable transport of all frozen desserts. Maintaining the cold chain for items like delicate gelato or intricate ice cream cakes is non-negotiable, and we understand the critical nature of this temperature-controlled delivery process.

We provide modern, purpose-built refrigerated vehicles (including 1-tonne and 2-tonne freezer vans, or larger refrigerated Pantech trucks up to 14 tonnes) and professional drivers. Our dedicated team is specifically trained to your operational procedures, becoming a seamless extension of your operation, learning your routes and handling procedures for efficient frozen goods transport.

Our focus is providing the dedicated refrigerated fleet and trained personnel you hire for your ongoing delivery needs. This ensures your valuable products maintain perfect texture, flavour, and appearance through careful temperature controlled transport, safeguarding your brand’s quality promise right through to your customer.

Partnering with OnTime gives your business the crucial capacity to reliably deliver a wide variety of temperature-sensitive frozen treats using our specialised refrigerated vehicles and your dedicated drivers, integrated into your regular schedule:

Our outsourced frozen delivery solution enables confident handling of deliveries for diverse needs – regular stock replenishment, direct customer order fulfilment as part of your system, supplying caterers, or distributing to restaurant networks. We ensure perfect preservation with every frozen dessert delivery, supporting your brand to the final destination.

We provide the dedicated resources needed for consistent frozen dessert transport, letting you focus on product development and sales. We integrate as your long-term delivery partner, not for one-off jobs.

Here are answers to common questions about our dedicated frozen dessert delivery services:

What temperature range do your refrigerated vehicles consistently maintain for frozen goods?

Our dedicated refrigerated vehicles are specified and meticulously maintained to consistently hold temperatures crucial for frozen goods, typically ensuring -18°C or lower for optimal frozen food transport.

During our initial consultation and setup process, we work closely with you to confirm the precise temperature requirements for your specific products (e.g., ice cream vs. gelato vs. frozen cakes) and configure the vehicle systems accordingly. This ensures the integrity and quality of your inventory throughout every temperature-controlled delivery managed by your assigned OnTime team.

Can we schedule our dedicated frozen delivery team for deliveries outside standard 9-5 business hours or on weekends?

Absolutely. Our dedicated delivery service is designed around your operational needs as part of our long-term agreement, not restricted to standard business hours. We understand that frozen dessert deliveries often need to happen early morning, evenings, or on weekends to meet customer demand or retail stocking schedules.

We structure the dedicated driver and refrigerated vehicle schedules specifically to accommodate these requirements. Discuss your ideal frozen delivery windows with us during the planning phase.

How do we monitor the frozen dessert deliveries being performed by our dedicated OnTime team?

You gain full access to our sophisticated OnTime Earth online portal. This platform provides comprehensive, real-time visibility into your established refrigerated courier operations:

• Live GPS Tracking: See the exact location of the specific temperature-controlled vehicles assigned to your business on a map.
• Delivery Status Updates: Monitor progress throughout the day, knowing which frozen deliveries are completed, in progress, or upcoming.
• Estimated Arrival Times (ETAs): View calculated ETAs for upcoming drops (where applicable) for enhanced delivery management.
• Instant POD Access: View electronic proofs of delivery, including signatures or photos, as soon as they are captured by the driver upon completion of the frozen dessert delivery.
• Performance Reporting: Access historical data and key performance indicators related to your outsourced delivery operation.

Please note, the OnTime Earth portal is for monitoring and managing your ongoing, contracted delivery service, not for booking individual or ad-hoc deliveries.

What is the procedure if an issue, like accidental product damage, occurs during a frozen delivery?

While our drivers receive rigorous training in careful handling according to your specific standards for frozen goods transport, clear protocols are in place for unforeseen events.

Your dedicated Account Manager serves as your immediate point of contact for your frozen dessert courier service. Should any issue arise during a refrigerated delivery, you would contact them directly. They will investigate the circumstances promptly, liaise with the driver and operations team, and work with you to resolve the matter professionally according to the terms of our service agreement. Our service includes appropriate insurance coverage for the delivery operations we manage on your behalf, providing financial protection for your temperature-controlled transport.

Is your outsourced frozen delivery solution capable of handling very large volume deliveries, such as for major events or bulk distribution?

Yes, our outsourced delivery solution is inherently scalable and designed to handle fluctuating volumes, including large-scale requirements for frozen dessert transport, as part of a long-term arrangement.

We tailor the solution precisely to your ongoing needs. This involves assigning the appropriate number and size of refrigerated vehicles (including large-capacity refrigerated trucks up to 14 tonnes if required for bulk frozen food transport) and structuring the driver team accordingly. Whether it’s delivering pallets of stock regularly to distribution centres, supplying a major recurring catering event with frozen desserts, or managing seasonal peaks within our partnership, we ensure your dedicated operation has the capacity and resources to handle it reliably.
