cold chain data
Even when cold chain shipments are identical, every shipment has its own set of risks, and it’s up to the carriers to know exactly what those risks might be.
Those risk factors have less of a chance to derail a shipment or compromise its integrity when cold carriers have access to insights that are driven by data.
Without it, they’re driving blind.
Cold chain carriers are vital to the entire globe, and the best practices that lead to strong fleets save not only money and time but lives.
The most dependable (and successful!) cold chain carriers monitor various shipment temperatures in real time, serialize and trace those shipments, and use the data they gather throughout the entire journey of the products they ship.
Real-Time Temperature Monitoring
Fleets that use GPS monitoring systems as well as sensors outside the vehicle to read temperature and humidity sensors to track various temperatures in-transit do the best job at preventing product spoilage, avoiding rejected loads, and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
Sensors like these can alert drivers when doors are not secure and temperatures and products are at risk, for instance.
By serializing products at the primary package, case, and pallet levels, companies can trace entire shipments more accurately which boosts supply and demand management, reduces product loss, prevents counterfeiting, and enhances brand protection.
Serialized products are easy to track and provide a wealth of data on the entire shipment.
Leveraging Cold Chain Data
It’s imperative that cold chain carriers understand the products they’re shipping: temperature tolerance, the shipping modes and lanes, the expected delivery dates, and the weather throughout the entire journey of that product.
Companies that have control of the quality of their shipments are leveraging integrated data as their #1 asset.
The Nexxo Fleet system provides up to three different temperature zones so that you can monitor products of various temperature requirements.
Your data is most valuable when it's integrated with the rest of your fleet management systems.
In addition to cold chain monitoring in real time, Nexxo Fleet offers a complete suite of fleet management solutions, designed to work together.
