Transforming Cold Chain Logistics: How Tan90’s IN-CAAS Model Outperforms Traditional Cooling Methods

In today’s world of quick commerce, the last mile of delivery—where goods reach the customer—is a critical point for keeping products fresh, especially for perishables. But when it comes to cold chain solutions for the last mile, businesses often face limited options. Dry ice and refrigerated trucks are the common solutions, but these come with their own set of challenges. In this blog, we’ll look at how Tan90’s innovative Cooling as a Service (CAAS) model is revolutionizing cold chain logistics for the last mile, with a real-life example from the festive season.

The Challenge with Traditional Last-Mile Cold Chain Solutions

Traditional cold chain solutions like dry ice and refrigerated trucks are widely used but aren’t without issues. Here’s why:

Dry Ice: While dry ice is a popular choice, it has safety risks, requires special handling, and isn’t always the most cost-effective option.

Refrigerated Trucks: While useful, refrigerated trucks are expensive and can be hard to arrange for small-scale deliveries, which makes them less ideal for quick commerce companies with fluctuating demand.

Both of these solutions have limitations when it comes to flexibility and scalability. In other words, businesses can struggle to meet high demand during busy seasons or scale down when things return to normal.
This is where Tan90’s Cooling as a Service (CAAS) comes in. Rather than relying on static methods like dry ice, Tan90 offers flexible, reusable cooling panels that can be delivered to the customer as needed. This solution adapts to fluctuating demand and doesn’t require large, costly infrastructure like refrigerated trucks.

A Real-Life Case Study: Meeting Peak Demand During the Festive Season

To illustrate how Tan90’s CAAS solution works in practice, let’s look at a case study from a recent partnership with a major quick commerce company.

During the festive season, demand for quick deliveries of frozen and perishable goods soared. The company needed over 100,000 cooling panels daily to keep up with the orders. Tan90 rose to the challenge by providing these panels on-demand, ensuring every product remained at the right temperature all the way to the customer’s door.

Once the festive season ended, the demand dropped significantly. With Tan90’s flexible system, the company didn’t have to worry about wasting resources or paying for extra cooling solutions. They simply scaled down to meet the new, lower demand, saving money without any hassle.

Why Tan90’s CAAS Model Is a Game-Changer for Last-Mile Delivery

Tan90’s Cooling as a Service model is a huge step forward in cold chain logistics, especially for businesses in quick commerce that need to scale up and down quickly. Here’s why:

Flexibility: Tan90’s reusable cooling panels can be adjusted based on demand, whether it’s a huge spike during the festive season or a normal day. This flexibility makes it easier for businesses to handle changes in order volume without overpaying for excess resources.

Cost-Efficiency: Unlike dry ice or refrigerated trucks, which are expensive and require careful planning, Tan90’s panels are cost-effective, scalable, and easy to deploy on the go.

Sustainability: Tan90’s approach is eco-friendly compared to dry ice, which can leave behind carbon emissions. Their solution reduces waste and supports a more sustainable approach to cold chain logistics.

Convenience: With Tan90 handling the cold chain at the customer’s location, businesses don’t have to worry about setting up complex logistics on their own. Tan90’s system is plug-and-play, and a dedicated team ensures it runs smoothly.
