Before investing in cold storage, you should have a clear list of what exactly you require from a cold storage solution. Getting your business requirements & priorities mapped out is vital to ensuring you choose the best cold storage solution.
You need to be sure that the solution you opt for will fulfil all your requirements while providing ample storage space, efficiency and, of course, a cost-effective investment.
One thing that is clear is that you need to be certain that your chosen cold storage solution will keep your produce in the best condition possible. Selecting the wrong solution can have drastic consequences, especially if a substandard product reaches a consumer.
For most, cold storage is a long-term solution so choosing the correct cold storage solution is a very important step towards ensuring a positive ROI over the lifespan of the unit.
When researching what will be the most suitable for you to invest in, it’s worth looking at how much space your premises has available. If you require a large refrigeration unit, freeing up ample space internally or externally may be the first step you want to take before purchasing. It’s vital to ensure you have both ample space to house the cold store and operational space around the unit for access and loading.
If space isn’t an issue, then you need to assess how much storage space you require to house your inventory. You need to consider your stock levels, but also allow for seasonal fluctuation, increased demand and future growth.

Each industry is different, from the products that they store, to their requirements for storage and the regulations they need to adhere to. Not all products will be suited for storage at a single specific temperature. For best results, products will have a recommended temperature range for optimum storage.
Therefore, it is worth considering what products you will be required to store immediately, but also consider what you may need to store in the future.
For most stock items, small fluctuations in temperature can lead to a poor-quality product and deterioration. For some products, this can cause life-threatening problems if used by consumers. As a result, it is vital you are sure of the temperature ranges your products need to be stored within.
