This helps in taking continuous updates from the driver,” confirms Mr.Shaunak.
Dynamics with the Pandemic
The need for cold chain products has always been there, may it be pre-covid times or post lockdown scenario. The only thing which has surfaced now is that there is an awareness about the demand for the cold chain products and logistics for it. The importance of what earlier was known as just a niche is being expanded at a rapid rate.
The team at Stavan International is currently working with the clients who have requirement of transporting at full-load capacity. But if someone comes up with the demand of half-load or customized capacity transportation, it is unable to help them and if the team is in a position to help, the company might have to charge a premium price for it. “We are looking for ways to bridge this gap so that we can provide our customers, an array of services according to their diverse needs,” concludes Mr. Shaunak Gor sharing his future plans.
