OUR FACILITIES

Segovia Produce inventories about $500,000.00 of product at one time.  We feel another unique factor that separates us from anyone else is our “Cold Storage” facilities and their abilities.  We have installed a temperature monitoring system “Lookout” Software.  This software monitors the cooler temps 24/7 and notifies us if a cooler is not within its predetermined temperature range.  We have 16 different rooms available to store incoming product at their “recommended” storage temperature and humidity factor.  This simple storage technique we have adopted allows us to deliver fresher product with an extended shelf life.  Another technique we have chosen to adapt is how we store potatoes.  Notice below we store potatoes at 2 temperatures: 40 degrees and 60 degrees.  We identify customers that are frying their potatoes and ship to them only potatoes that have been stored at 60 degrees.  Storing potatoes at “room temperature” will remove any sugar which causes potatoes to cook up dark colored.

Our Trucks

All our trucks are equipped with the “Fleet Complete” satellite tracking system. This enables us to know where our trucks are at all times. This is an immediate customer relations selling point because sometimes the customer needs us to locate the driver when they are running low on product and redirect them there immediately. Also, each driver carries a cell phone with him as another “communicative tool” that helps us increase our serviceability.
