How Amul distributors handle 400+ SKUs across multi-temperature cold chains
Managing Amul's vast portfolio requires operations that span ambient, chilled, and frozen storage simultaneously. A typical Amul distributor serves 500-2000 retailers and dispatches 3-5 vehicle routes daily, each carrying a mixed load of pouch milk (chilled), butter and ghee (ambient), cheese (chilled), and ice cream (frozen). SpireStock's order management module organizes this complexity by product class, ensuring scheme rules, shelf-life logic, and delivery sequencing are applied correctly per category.
Our route optimization feature specifically accounts for cold-chain constraints: frozen ice cream must be delivered first to minimize thaw risk, chilled milk follows within a 2-hour window, and ambient products round out the route. Distributors in hot cities like Ahmedabad and Jaipur rely on this logic during peak summer months. Read our guide to dairy cold-chain management for Indian conditions.
For Amul's broader ecosystem, SpireStock integrates with dairy distribution workflows and supports the scheme structures GCMMF runs across its cooperative federation.
