Why Alexander Group

Cold chain performance depends on the network around the trailer

A fleet of refrigerated trailers does not make a chilled and frozen solution.

The wider network still needs the right trucks, trained drivers, disciplined scheduling, clear handovers and reliable coordination between production, cold storage and delivery.

When those elements are not working together, the impact spreads quickly.

Trailers sit in the wrong location. Product waits for transport. Delivery windows are missed. Driver hours are wasted. Internal teams spend too much time resolving the same issues. Costs rise, but the source of the problem remains difficult to see.

Alexander Group brings the logistics discipline needed to make the network work as one connected system.

We provide the fleet and drivers, design the transport model, coordinate customer-owned or third-party refrigerated trailers and use operational systems to create the data needed for better decisions.

Routes, schedules, trailer flows and delivery patterns assessed to reduce duplication, empty running and avoidable delays.
Trailer positioning and coordination

Active management of where refrigerated trailers need to be, when they need to be available and how they move through the network.
Hub-and-spoke transport design

Transport models built around customer-owned or third-party cold stores to improve consolidation, route density and regional distribution.
Systems, reporting and performance visibility

Operational systems and reporting that show service performance, utilisation, delays, exceptions and recurring improvement opportunities.

Our Process

Five steps from first call to continuous improvement.

Understand the freight

We identify product class, volume, handling requirements, origin, destination, timing, site constraints and documentation needs.
Design the movement

We determine the right equipment, driver capability, route, schedule, loading process, delivery window and compliance pathway.
Confirm the commercials

We agree pricing, responsibilities, liability boundaries, service expectations and reporting requirements.
Execute safely

The movement is carried out by trained people using appropriate fleet, systems and communication channels.
Review and improve

For recurring work, we review performance, identify efficiency opportunities and improve the operating model over time.

Metrics that matter
