Cutting-edge security, EDI inventory management, and cold storage warehouse monitoring technology

At Interstate Cold Storage, we use industry-leading technology to make sure your goods are safe and accounted for. Our AS2-capable Warehouse Management System (WMS) allows us to transport data securely and reliably and handle the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) logistics you need for your business. Our secure cold storage facilities collect both voice and barcode data and provide 24/7 temperature control and security monitoring.

Real-Time Online Old Storage inventory management system

Real-time EDI inventory management and inbound/outbound freight tracking gives you the data you need to make time-sensitive decisions that can have a big impact on your bottom line. We use the secure and highly accurate Accellos One 3PL cold storage inventory management system with web portal access so you can access your data around the clock.

Customized reports

Users can generate customized reports though our cold storage management system web portal to help make planning decisions, manage inventory levels and increase efficiency. Each report can be created with virtually unlimited criteria, scheduled by the user, and exported in a variety of formats, including .xls, .csv or .pdf. You can also share this information with other account users.

RF Barcode Scanning

Real-Time Data

Because the fast pace of today’s supply chain demands real-time data, we continually invest and update our information technology systems to include the most modern cold storage tech for data collection and transmission. Every Interstate Cold Storage location offers RF scanning to assure accurate, up-to-date information.

Security & Monitoring

At Interstate Cold Storage , we always remember that prioritizing food safety not only protects our customers’ bottom line, but also protects the health of consumers. Our facilities are monitored with an IP-based surveillance system that authorized staff can access from anywhere in the world. Our secure cold storage locations are also monitored by a third-party agency for burglary, ammonia, fire, and temperature stability.

Security measures for secure cold storage

Controlled and limited facility access
Completed trailer inspections — in and out
Secure protected networks
Employee background checks

Our cold storage tech includes an internal monitoring system that serves as a back-up through our centralized network. This redundancy adds another layer of protection for items monitored by our third-party agent. In the unlikely event an issue arises, we have a detailed corrective action protocol in place.

Each facility has its own independent Warehouse Security Plan, which is rehearsed several times each year during unannounced drills.

In addition to these strategies, all Interstate Cold Storage facilities are government inspected and reviewed by a third-party audit team to ensure that our facilities meet all regulatory requirements.

AS2 Protocol

AS2 Protocol refers to security protocols used for secure file transport that is encrypted and supported by EDI via the internet. When permissions are granted through Interstate Cold Storage firewalls, AS2 Protocol allows for direct connections to and from our system and the customer, eliminating the need for a Value Added Network (VAN) and its associated costs.

AS2 grants significantly faster turnaround for business transactions compared to traditional electronic data interchange logistics data, which is batch processed and then transmitted in groups throughout the day.

Interstate Cold Storage was among the first in any industry to create a paperless environment; well ahead of today’s green initiatives. It is our belief that a paperless environment creates an atmosphere for productive and accurate work, by eliminating the distractions caused by clutter and chaos.

Electronic data collection is just one way Interstate demonstrates its commitment to customer service and the environment.
