Services
PeriShip may interact with all of the stakeholders in a shipping transaction, which include a shipper of perishable goods, a recipient of perishable goods, and an agency responsible for delivering the perishable goods to the recipient. Its purpose in this interaction is to decrease the time each party must spend on a transaction, which increases business productivity and decreases cost of the shipper and the transportation agency.{{cite news |last=Harrington |first=Lisa |date=2007-08-01 |title=Temperature Controlled Logistics: Provide or Perish |url=http://www.inboundlogistics.com/articles/features/0807_feature02.shtml |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081118113512/http://www.inboundlogistics.com/articles/features/0807_feature02.shtml |archivedate=2008-11-18 |accessdate=2009-03-27 |publisher=Inbound Logistics}}{{cite news | first=Toby | last=Gooley | title=Devoted to you | date=2006-04-01 | work=Logistics Management | url=http://www.logisticsmgmt.com/article/CA6307415.html | accessdate=2009-03-27 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703161803/http://www.logisticsmgmt.com/article/CA6307415.html | archivedate=2009-07-03 }}
