Pilot’s
largest logistics-only facility is now the company’s first FDA-regulated warehouse.
Situated in Piscataway, NJ, the central location in the Northeast translates
into several transportation advantages for customers: one-day point to most of
the Northeast; two-day point as far south as Atlanta; and prime inbound
container location for port of New York/Newark. One of its newest customers collects
canned food donations, which necessitated the FDA certification. Pilot must adhere to
certain pest control processes, cleanliness and sanitation standards and is
subject to inspection by the FDA. Pilot’s eWMS system allows products to be
handled as FIFO (first in, first out), ensuring perishables are rotated and expiration
dates tracked. At 65,000 square feet, the Piscataway facility gives Pilot excellent
leverage to handle a variety of warehouse needs in the U.S.
