LOGISTIC CIRCUIT

  • Carcaixent City Council has created a new, completely free, last-mile sustainable agri-food distribution service, which will begin in January 2026. Staff have been hired to provide this service, funded by the city council's budget.

​

  • This new service will replace the service provided individually by each of the Municipal Market's stores.

​

  • It has been necessary to develop operating regulations for the service. Once the service has started, it will be necessary to monitor it and adapt it to any complications that may arise.

​

  • This regulation specifies the operational flow for a typical day

LOGISTIC CIRCUIT

  • The initial regulation specify:
    • Order placement system via WhatsApp/email
    • Task control sheet using spreadsheet
    • Work order collection schedule (weekdays and Saturday)
    • Daily delivery schedule to the end customer (weekdays and Saturdays)
    • Types of packaging that stores must use
    • Order identification/labeling/cold chain requirements
  • We are currently continuing to work on and improve the definition of the details of these regulations, meeting with the stakeholders involved, with the aim of minimizing any potential problems when the service begins.
