THE CROSS-BORDER COLD-CHAIN RAIL

One continuous record from the packing shed hydrocooler to the retail receiving dock.

We do not ask Mexican packing sheds to log into complex software, and we do not ask border importers to replace Silo or Famous ERP. Tarima links a WhatsApp iPhone at origin, a widescreen desktop cooler radar at the border, and verified 5:30 AM desktop spec sheets for buyers.

STEP 1 • MOBILE IPHONE AT THE PACKING SHED (00:00 HRS)

Shed managers snap a photo or send a voice note on WhatsApp

In Uruapan, Rosario, Martínez de la Torre, or Piura, the packing shed floor moves too fast for desktop spreadsheets. The shed manager simply texts the Tarima WhatsApp bot (+52 or +51) from their handheld iPhone.

  • Handwritten Manifiesto Vision OCR: Extracts pallet count, size curve (48s, 14ct, 110s), lot code, and USDA seal automatically.
  • Termo and Quality Capture: Logs hydrocooler or pre-cool exit temperature, Brix, or dry matter percentage.
  • Instant Lot Passport: Mints a tamper-evident digital passport (TRM-8910) before the reefer crosses the bridge.

STEP 2 • WIDESCREEN DESKTOP AT THE BORDER COOLER (14:00 HRS)

Border importers see cooler age, regional supply, and grove weather on one widescreen console

When the truck backs into the cold room in Pharr, Nogales, Pompano, Vineland, or Oxnard, the receiving clerk confirms arrival pulp temperature (41.2°F). The importer sales desk views the lot live on their desktop alongside regional market intelligence.

  • Live Pallet Dwell Clock: Tracks exact hours in cold storage so Day-1 crossings are never priced like 9-day carryover fruit.
  • 14-Day Grove Weather Radar: Shows rainfall in Michoacán, Sinaloa, and Veracruz so sales desks spot supply gaps early.
  • 1-Click ERP Bridge: Pushes verified lot specs directly into Silo or Famous ERP and generates buyer offer sheets.

STEP 3 • WIDESCREEN DESKTOP AT THE BUYER'S DESK (05:30 AM)

Wholesale and retail buyers lock verified Day-1 lots from their morning desktop sheet

At 5:30 AM, supermarket category managers and terminal market buyers open a clean desktop availability sheet showing only verified lots with real crossing timestamps and pulp temperatures.

  • Biological Pulp Temp Proof: Confirms avocados stayed at 40°F-42°F, mangos at 52°F-54°F, and limes at 50°F-52°F with zero chilling injury.
  • +4 to 5 Extra Days of Retail Shelf Life: Buying 14-hour crossings instead of 9-day cooler sitters cuts supermarket shrink in half.
  • Instant PACA PO Lock: Reserve all 20 pallets or split loads directly with the border importer desk.

53-FOOT 3-ZONE REEFER CONSOLIDATION • BOL ↔ PACA PO SYNC

Arrange different tropical fruits on the same truck and link the BOL directly to the Buyer PO

Supermarket chains in Texas, the Northeast, and Eastern Canada rarely buy 22 straight pallets of a single SKU. Tarima validates biological bulkhead zones on mixed 53-foot reefers and reconciles every pallet's Traceability Lot Code across the Bill of Lading (BOL) and Buyer Purchase Order.
