Gatik’s medium-duty trucks can haul refrigerated and frozen foods, enabling the AV tech company to serve as a middle-mile solution for grocery and other food supply chains.
“Through the collaboration, Kroger customers will be provided with increased speed and responsiveness when fulfilling e-commerce orders, which will, in turn, reduce costs and increase dedicated capacity across the supply chain’s middle mile,” Gatik’s CEO and co-founder Gautam Narang said in an email.
The AV tech company has Class 3–6 trucks deployed in markets that include Texas and Arkansas, partnering with businesses such as Georgia-Pacific and Walmart. Gatik’s deal with Walmart includes service to Sam’s Club locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
