ORCA Cold Chain brings automation to COVID-19 hit PH supply chain industry

Before and After. That is how business worldwide and especially here in the Philippines now call the two paradigms we have. There was the one before COVID-19 and the one that we are still navigating presently, as the pandemic changes everything from how businesses are run to how customers purchase their goods.

One industry that has been thrust into the very spotlight of this post-COVID19 reality is agriculture and our food chain. Even before COVID-19, the Philippines already had issues with food safety and food security. There were truckloads of overdraft vegetables being disposed and of lopsided systems that lead to recurring poverty among fisherfolk. This already existing problem reached a tipping point with the COVID-19 crisis.

At ORCA Cold Chain Solutions, we already knew that automation would be key to raising the Philippine supply chain standard to world-class levels. We understood early on that automation would provide higher quality, complete hygiene and safety and perfect accuracy. That is why we built the first ever fully automated cold chain facility in the Philippines, and we launched it last February 2020.
