Success case: specialised logistics for the petfood sector with full traceability and regulatory compliance
A demanding sector where logistics is critical
In the pet food sector, logistics is not simply about storage and transport. Every product that reaches the point of sale or the end customer is part of a chain of trust that begins long before delivery. We are talking about sensitive products, with specific regulatory requirements and a direct impact on animal health and wellbeing.
In this context, Nordlogway has developed a specialised logistics operation for the petfood sector, designed to guarantee full traceability, regulatory compliance and maximum operational efficiency from receipt to final distribution.
The project arose from a clear need: to optimise the management of finished products from an international supplier and ensure a structured operation in a multi-client environment without losing control or inventory visibility. The client needed a logistics partner capable of integrating imports, stock management, order preparation and final distribution under strict food safety and traceability standards.
An operation structured in three phases
From our logistics centre, we structured the operation into three key phases to ensure control at every critical point in the chain.
The first phase focuses on inbound reception and management. Containers, whether bulk or palletised, are unloaded under specific protocols for animal feed. The corresponding documentation is verified and full traceability of each batch is ensured from the moment it enters the warehouse. Product location is strategically planned according to rotation and typology, optimising picking efficiency.
The second phase corresponds to picking and order preparation. Coordination with the client is essential. We work based on shipping planning and specific order requirements, ensuring precision and agility. Our advanced inventory management systems provide real-time visibility, facilitating decision-making, preventing stock shortages and reducing incidents. Strict control of batches and expiry dates is also maintained, a key factor in the petfood sector.
The third phase is final distribution. Routes and deliveries are planned under operational efficiency criteria, optimising time and costs without compromising service levels. Real-time tracking ensures complete shipment traceability up to the final customer.
Regulatory compliance and specific guarantees for pet food
The entire process is carried out under the relevant regulatory framework. Nordlogway holds SANDACH certification and is registered in SILUM as an animal feed operator. Our warehouses have specific hygiene, ventilation and environmental controls to preserve product nutritional quality.
This specialisation allows us to work with manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers in the petfood sector with full legal and operational security.
Results: efficiency, control and trust
The result of this specialised operation is a solid, transparent and efficient logistics chain. The client has improved import management, optimised order preparation times and reduced stock incidents, all with full inventory visibility and guaranteed regulatory compliance.
In a sector where trust is essential, logistics cannot be a weak link. At Nordlogway, we understand that moving products also means protecting brand, reputation and animal wellbeing. That is why we combine sector expertise, technology and operational control to turn logistics into a true strategic partner for petfood companies.
