When a truckload crosses Pharr or Nogales and sits in a border cooler for 9 days without buyer visibility, the grower pays for it in price adjustments and slow liquidations. Tarima gives packing sheds in Mexico (+52) and Peru (+51) a timestamped Lot Passport directly from WhatsApp.
Your jefe de empaque never has to open a laptop or type into a spreadsheet. Snap a photo of the handwritten manifiesto de carga, the Ryan/Sensitech termo serial number, and send a 6-second voice note in Spanish.
Every Tarima Lot Passport locks in your hydrocooler or pre-cool exit temperature (41°F Hass, 53°F Mango, 51°F Lime), Brix/dry matter, and exact crossing hour so Day-1 fruit is never discounted as old inventory.
While your reefer is still approaching Reynosa, Pharr, or Nogales, your US border importer desk can already show verified specs to supermarket and terminal buyers on the 5:30 AM sheet.
Crop-specific biological protocols baked into every WhatsApp check-in.
