Inward & Inspection
Same-day receipt, quality checks and system entry at the correct storage temperature.
India has very old and long tradition of flower cultivation. We store flowers at low atmosphere pressure under refrigerated conditions, with continuous ventilation to keep it fresh and durable for long time.
The demand for freshly cut flowers has made the development of improved methods of preservation necessary. Among various dynamics to consider when storing cut flowers, temperature regulation is a particularly critical factor. For most flower types, optimal storage temperatures range between 33°F - 37°F by deciding the best temperature to store the cut flowers.
Attaining the best temperature for cut flowers can be satisfactorily done with the use of environmental chillers and water-cooling systems. These devices can be used to regulate the temperatures at which cut florets are stored and transported ensuring longer shelf lives.
Singhania Logistics serves as the cold-chain warehousing and dispatch arm of your flower business. We receive, store, process and distribute your stock without taking ownership of it.

The same team assists growers, importers, wholesalers and D2C brands with cold storage, fulfilment and pan-India distribution.
A CFA (Carrying & Forwarding Agent) is a logistics partner appointed by a flower or floriculture business to receive stock, store it under refrigerated conditions, and forward it to wholesalers, retailers, event businesses or online customers on the brand's behalf. The CFA does not buy or own the flowers — it manages cold storage, inventory, order processing, dispatch documentation and compliance for a service fee. Singhania Logistics has operated as a CFA and cold chain logistics provider for Indian and multinational brands since 1962.
Most cut flower varieties store best between 33°F and 37°F, held at low atmospheric pressure with continuous ventilation. This slows respiration and water loss, keeping stems fresher and more durable for longer.
Flowers move from cold storage into refrigerated vehicles without a break in temperature, using environmental chillers and water-cooling systems to hold the same low-temperature range throughout the journey. This protects vase life between the warehouse and the final customer.
A CFA stores and dispatches goods for a brand without owning them, earning a fixed fee or commission, and usually also deals with compliance, order processing and dispatch documentation. A typical cold storage provider only has refrigerated space, and has none of the distribution, paperwork or channel management that a CFA has. Flower businesses often use a CFA as a single point that combines cold storage with dispatch across wholesale, retail and D2C channels.
Yes. You don't need big volumes to work with us — we work with growing D2C and online flower brands with shared cold storage space, pay-for-what-you-use storage and order-level fulfilment for website and marketplace orders. As volumes increase, the same setup scales to dedicated space and full CFA distribution with no partner change.
Stock is held at a consistent low temperature with continuous ventilation from inward receipt to dispatch, and older stock is rotated out first to limit time in storage. This combination keeps wilting and wastage to a minimum compared with ambient or inconsistently cooled storage.
Yes. Unsold or returned stock is received, quality-checked and either redirected to another order, discounted for quick sale, or flagged for disposal depending on condition and remaining freshness. Handling unsold stock is part of our standard fulfilment process rather than a separate add-on.
Cost depends on the storage temperature and space occupied, order volumes and channel mix, value-added services like bunching or re-packing, and the distribution coverage required. CFA arrangements are typically structured as a monthly fee or a percentage of throughput. Tell us about your flower varieties, order volumes and channels and we'll provide you with a customised quote.
