A shipment of strawberries can pass every temperature check and still arrive with less time left to sell. Delays in cooling, transportation and handoffs can consume valuable shelf life, increasing the risk of markdowns and waste.
In Food Logistics Magazine, Karl McDermott, chief SaaS revenue officer at DeltaTrak, explains how freshness intelligence helps teams understand how much selling time remains and act on it.
That information can guide which loads to inspect first, route to closer stores or prioritize for sale. It also supports a shift from first-in, first-out inventory management to moving products with the shortest remaining shelf life first.
For growers, shippers and retailers, those decisions can help reduce waste and protect margins. ... See MoreSee Less

“This was a disgusting display of policing.”
Ven Johnson, president of Ven Johnson Law, spoke with ABC12 News about the acquittal of Michigan State Police Trooper Paul Arrowood and what the verdict could mean for future excessive force cases.
Arrowood faced charges of felony misconduct in office and misdemeanor assault and battery stemming from his September 2022 arrest of Michael Wilson for jaywalking. Wilson was never charged with a crime. MSP’s own director called the incident “an unwarranted use of force” that fell outside department policy.
Johnson warned the verdict could discourage prosecutors from pursuing similar cases against police officers. Ven Johnson Law continues to represent Wilson in a separate civil lawsuit against Arrowood. ... See MoreSee Less

Quin Garcia, co-founder and managing director of Autotech Ventures, joined Dan Shine for a fixed ops discussion on Automotive News Daily Drive.
Most of the coverage of Chinese automakers is about sticker price and whether they’ll get into the U.S. market at all. Quin took the conversation to the service drive. He talked about where new automakers tend to run into trouble with parts supply, and why he expects service to stay a profit center for dealers as new-car margins tighten.
Thanks Dan and the Automotive News team for a great conversation. Listen to the full episode here. ... See MoreSee Less

A few moldy berries can put an entire truckload at risk.
The Packer explores how our client DeltaTrak is connecting cold chain data with the freshness problems that lead to rejected loads, lost revenue and food waste.
Dr. Jeffrey Brecht of the University of Florida and Dr. Ismail Uysal of the University of South Florida explain how decay develops and warmer temperatures accelerate spoilage. DeltaTrak’s Fred Wu and Karl McDermott share how Fresh IDX helps teams identify produce likely to spoil sooner and prioritize those loads for nearby stores.
The financial stakes are significant: DeltaTrak’s modeling estimates that recovering one day of usable shelf life could improve revenue retention by up to 27%. ... See MoreSee Less
