However, the costs of providing a service, which includes a driver and a vehicle, in a regular vehicle that can transport goods that need positive cold (0\u00b0 to 5\u00b0C) are very high.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Objectives:<\/jats:bold> This paper aims to investigate how a big Portuguese retailer company can reduce its dependence on refrigerated vehicles, simplifying operations and reducing the costs of transporting positive and negative cold food.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Methods\/Approach:<\/jats:bold> This research was carried out in a food retailer Portuguese company, more precisely in a Dark Store dedicated to the online channel.
