Regional supermarket chains and terminal wholesalers rarely buy 22 straight pallets of a single crop. They buy mixed LTL/FTL consolidations out of McAllen, Nogales, or Pompano. Tarima enforces biological bulkhead zones so 41°F Hass avocados never chill-burn 53°F Honey mangos or 51°F Persian limes, while syncing every pallet's Lot Passport across the Bill of Lading (BOL), PACA Purchase Order, and retail EDI 856 ASN.
Putting 53°F mangos or 51°F Persian limes into a 38°F nose zone causes black chilling injury inside 18 hours. Tarima's consolidation engine validates temperature zones, ethylene sensitivity, and axle weight before the forklift loads Bay 4.
8 Pallets • Michoacán Hass Avocados (48s/60s)
High-density 25lb lugs placed over tractor drive axles. Isolated behind insulated bulkhead #1 with ethylene scrubber pad.
8 Pallets • MD2 Pineapples (7ct) & Persian Limes (110s)

Warmest tropical zone at the rear doors for first-off retail dock unloading. Houses live cellular Sensitech/Ryan logger #TX-991.

Every pallet scanned on WhatsApp at the packing shed automatically populates the McAllen outbound Bill of Lading, matches line-by-line against the supermarket buyer's Purchase Order, and transmits the FDA FSMA 204 Traceability Lot Codes ahead of the truck.
Tarima never forces a rip-and-replace. We act as the clean cold-chain data bridge between WhatsApp at the packing shed and the enterprise systems your warehouse and retail buyers already run.
Two-way lot, inventory, and cost-accounting bridge so border cooler clerks never re-key Spanish manifiestos or pallet tags by hand.
Automatically converts Tarima Lot Passports into compliant Advance Ship Notices (EDI 856 ASN) and PTI pallet labels for national grocery chains.
Links cellular temperature loggers and reefer ELD telematics directly to the BOL so buyers see live pulp temperatures from Pharr to the DC dock.
Captures FDA FSMA Rule 204 Key Data Elements (KDEs), Traceability Lot Codes (TLC), Mexican Complemento Carta Porte, and USDA PPQ 203 seals at origin.
