CFA and distribution partner for frozen food brands

A carrying and forwarding agent (CFA) holds a brand's stock in a region and dispatches it to the brand's customers, whether those are platforms, modern trade, distributors or HoReCa. For frozen brands, the CFA also has to be a cold chain operator. FroGo combines both roles so you get one partner for storage, dispatch and documentation in each city.

What a CFA does for a frozen brand

Your CFA is your representative on the ground. It receives stock from your factory, stores it under the right conditions, processes orders from your channels, raises the paperwork that goes with each dispatch, and keeps an accurate record of what is in hand. When the CFA is reliable, your sales team can sell without worrying about whether stock will arrive.

FroGo CFA services

  • Stock receipt from your plant or mother warehouse, with GRN against your invoice
  • Frozen storage with FIFO / FEFO rotation and expiry alerts
  • Order processing across quick commerce, e-commerce, modern trade and distributors
  • Dispatch documentation including invoices and e-way bills as per your process

One partner across channels

Many brands run separate partners for quick commerce, e-commerce and offline trade, which splits inventory and makes stock harder to see. FroGo can serve all of these channels from the same stock, so you see one inventory position per city and avoid stocking out in one channel while another sits on excess.
