About Cometeer: Brewing Innovation at -321°F
Cometeer is revolutionizing the coffee world with their groundbreaking approach to delivering the highest quality coffee in an accesible format. By flash-freezing meticulously brewed coffee using liquid nitrogen at -321°F, Cometeer captures the full flavor profile of freshly brewed coffee, preserving its taste and aroma until the moment it’s enjoyed. This innovative process allows coffee lovers to experience exceptional coffee without the need for specialized equipment or brewing expertise.
To preserve the quality and prestige of their coffee, Cometeer needed a fulfillment partner that could maintain extreme cold chain integrity through every mile of the journey.
That’s where Grip came in.
“At Cometeer, delivering the freshest-tasting coffee on Earth starts with a -321°F plunge—but it doesn’t mean a thing if it doesn’t arrive frozen for our customers. Grip gives us confidence that all our hard work—and every ounce of flavor—makes it to your freezer frosty and uncompromised.”
— Matthew Roberts, CEO and Co-Founder, Cometeer
The Grip Advantage: Tech-Driven Fulfillment and Logistics for Frozen and Refrigerated Brands
Grip is a tech-driven fulfillment and logistics company built for DTC brands that ship frozen, refrigerated, or temperature-sensitive products. We combine nationwide infrastructure with proprietary optimization software to ensure every shipment arrives the fastest, most efficient way possible.
Nationwide Network with 24-Hour Reach
Grip operates six strategically located fulfillment centers in New Jersey, California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, and Nevada. This allows us to reach over 80% of U.S. population within 24 hours.
For Cometeer, this national footprint expanded their next-day delivery coverage by over 30%, allowing them to deliver their product faster—and with less reliance on expensive express methods.
Our Dynamic Shipping Engine
At the core of our platform is our proprietary AI-driven Shipping Engine, which evaluates every order in real time and dynamically determines the best configuration based on:
- Box size
- Insulation
- Refrigerant quantity
- Carrier selection
- Routing based on inventory, destination, and weather
This dynamic optimization is what allows us to handle complex frozen and refrigerated shipments at scale—while minimizing waste and maximizing delivery performance.
Refrigerant Optimization Technology
Cometeer’s product requires extremely low temperatures to maintain quality. Grip’s Shipping Engine calculates the exact amount of refrigerant needed for each shipment, accounting for transit time, route temperature, and product dimensions.
This optimization reduces refrigerant use by 25%, cutting costs and environmental waste—without sacrificing product integrity.
Smart Carrier Selection
Grip’s Shipping Engine selects the best carrier for every shipment—optimizing for both cost and speed. By analyzing delivery zones, historical on-time delivery data, and real-time rates, we intelligently combine our network of national and regional carriers to create the most efficient routing strategy.
This dynamic selection enables Cometeer to achieve:
- An increase of 30% in next-day deliveries
- Significant savings across thousands of weekly shipments
Real-Time Weather Event Detection
Shipping a flash-frozen product like Cometeer’s requires weather-aware logistics. Grip actively monitors for heatwaves, blizzards, wildfires, and other regional disruptions. Then we adjust accordingly.
When risk is detected, we alert our partners in real-time so they can:
- Reach out to their customers
- Hold shipments
- Reschedules orders
- Reroute through a different facility
This real-time adaptability has helped Cometeer maintain compliance and customer satisfaction, even during extreme conditions.
End-to-End Tracking and Visibility
Grip provides real-time, end-to-end tracking across the entire cold chain—from fulfillment center to doorstep. Through our OMS dashboard, Cometeer’s team can:
- Track every shipment in real time
- Monitor live inventory across all Grip facilities
- Analyze carrier performance and delivery outcomes
- Receive proactive alerts for delays, weather, or other disruptions
This level of visibility allows Cometeer to support customers more effectively, catch problems before they escalate, and consistently make data-driven decisions.
Logistics Edge
What sets Grip apart is our ability to actively manage the entire final-mile experience with a unified, tech-driven strategy:
- Active Last-Mile Logistics Management: We optimize the final stage of delivery across the country—ensuring speed, reliability, and savings coast to coast.
- Data-Driven Insight: Our analysts monitor real-time order performance across regions, using data to drive optimizations and prevent issues before they happen.
- Carrier Hub Performance Monitoring: We track carrier hub performance in real-time, identifying bottlenecks and optimizing routes to improve delivery speed and reliability.
