Vietnam's frozen food, dairy and beverage markets are growing by double digits every year, making temperature-accurate transport more demanding than ever. A single break in the cold chain can destroy a whole shipment and damage the brand.

UWAY operates reefer trucks and reefer containers across three ranges: frozen -15 to -25°C, chilled 2-8°C and cool 15-25°C. Every trip is monitored 24/7 by GPS & IoT with temperature logs on request, so F&B businesses can expand distribution with confidence.

The last mile often accounts for over 40% of total delivery cost. Five tactics UWAY applies: (1) automatic routing by time window, (2) consolidating orders by store cluster, (3) night delivery for retail chains to avoid traffic, (4) ePOD with OTP and photos to reduce disputes, (5) transparent COD reconciliation T+1/T+2.

Result: on-time delivery of 98%+, first-attempt success of 95%+ and a clearly lower cost per drop.

The basic document set includes the contract, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and C/O (for preferential duty). For food, cosmetics, electrical equipment or chemicals, check specialized permits early: product declaration, food safety inspection, conformity and quarantine.

The UWAY Smart Customs Clearance System lets you look up permits by product group and track each shipment's checklist, so documents are complete before the cargo arrives.

Ocean rates in 2026 keep fluctuating with peak seasons and carriers' GRI/PSS surcharges. Book 2-3 weeks ahead, use LCL for small lots and FCL once volume allows to optimize cost.

With a global agent network and partners such as Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM, UWAY advises the right route-time-cost option and quotes door-to-door.

A WMS tracks stock by pallet/rack location, batch and expiry (FEFO), making picking faster and more accurate. Real-time inventory reports help plan replenishment and reduce dead stock.

Combined with value-added services such as packing, labeling and order-based distribution, UWAY warehouses become a seamless link between factory and store.

Pharmaceuticals and vaccines usually require a strict 2-8°C range for the entire trip. The standard process includes pre-cooling the truck body, sealing, continuous logging and instant alerts when temperature goes out of range.

UWAY's reefer fleet applies the same standard to every temperature-sensitive category, helping customers pass partner and regulator audits.
