Cold Chain & Temperature Logistics
Decisions wait on month-end. Chamber and fleet utilisation is run off a whiteboard, spoilage and write-offs are a large blind P&L line, near-expiry stock ages unseen, and under-billed storage, handling and value-added charges are never netted in one view. The owner flies blind between closes on the three numbers that decide a cold-chain operator's margin: how full, how much spoiled, and how much was actually billed.
Who has it
Sharpest for cold-storage operators (capacity, spoilage and storage-charge realisation), then fresh and quick-commerce fulfilment (spoilage, shelf-life and near-expiry ageing), with the running view also serving reefer fleets and pharma and vaccine operators.
What we build
Always-current dashboards over the connected layer: capacity and occupancy by chamber and bay, spoilage and write-off by product, bay and route, near-expiry and FEFO ageing, storage/handling/value-added charge realisation against the rate card, and, for the fleet, trip margin and cost-per-trip. The moment an operator sees spoilage by route and utilisation by chamber on one screen is usually when the picture clicks.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The dashboards are non-AI: capacity and occupancy by chamber and bay, spoilage and write-off by product, bay and route, near-expiry and FEFO ageing, charge realisation against the rate card, and trip margin and cost-per-trip, all computed from the connected layer with every figure traceable to its source.
Where AI helps
AI does only bounded work on the operator's own data, such as clustering where spoilage concentrates so the eye lands on it faster. It never sets a figure, ranks a priority as fact or makes the decision the dashboard supports.
Who signs off
A named person owns any action taken on what the dashboard shows, and signs off any figure carried into billing or a target.
What changes day to day
The owner runs the week off live capacity, spoilage and billing numbers instead of last month's ghost; empty chambers, leaking spoilage and under-billed handling become visible while there is still time to act.
Illustrative outcome
Spoilage and under-billed charges surfaced and acted on; capacity put to work that was sitting idle.
Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
