LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - There are moments in this industry where I wonder how anyone sleeps at night. Then I quickly remember that there are proactive partners across the supply chain making the lives of everyone just a little bit easier and the road a little less bumpy. Companies like The Allen Lund Company (ALC). As we quickly approach the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show, Isabella Silva, Director of Marketing and Communications, joins me to discuss what attendees can look forward to, as well as the greater fresh produce industry.
“In speaking with our General Managers, our message for this year’s IFPA GPFS is simple: total peace of mind through proactive risk management,” Isabella begins. “We are highlighting our full-service carrier safety and compliance management framework, allowing shippers to offload compliance risk, alongside our specialized market intelligence team, which educates client teams on real-time regulatory and rate trends.”
As Isabella explains, relationships are more critical today than ever. Between tightening transportation regulations, court rulings on broker liability, and market volatility, produce shippers need a partner who takes operational risk off their plate.
What ALC brings to the table is the balance of enterprise scale and high-touch agility powered by the financial strength and deep carrier network required to deliver stability in a difficult hiring climate.
“Yet, we remain nimble enough to tailor solutions to each shipper's exact operational footprint. Whether you are auditing current providers on pricing and service, or actively purging high-risk carriers to limit liability exposure, ALC meets you where you are with a safer, seamless transportation strategy,” Isabella continues. “Industry dynamics evolve, but the core need remains the same: getting perishable products to market safely and efficiently. At ALC, our services are built around real-world produce experience. Our programs target these exact pain points with hands-on services like temperature pulp testing and rapid, short-notice execution.”
Part of those services are robust technology solutions. ALC’s software division, ALC Logistics, leverages this boots-on-the-ground knowledge to develop its award-winning supply chain software—AlchemyTMS. Today’s shippers face margin pressure, strict cold-chain requirements, and unpredictable capacity needs. ALC’s private fleet backhaul management programs also help shippers maximize asset utilization in a tough market.
As attendees prepare for the GPFS, October 14–16, make sure to mark ALC booth #3733 on your target lists, as the team brings nationwide coverage, with experts representing every region of the country, ready to dive into your specific transportation and supply chain goals.
When you need a break from the busy show floor, be sure to visit the Business Solutions Lounge #3116. ALC is proudly sponsoring the lounge this year, giving people a dedicated space to relax and recharge their devices.
