Webfleet Cold Chain gives you complete visibility of your refrigerated fleet for worry-free cold chain operations. With real-time temperature monitoring and control, this adaptable solution helps you both protect temperature-sensitive products and achieve cold chain compliance.

Webfleet Cold Chain helps you

Protect cargo

Monitor the temperature status of your entire fleet, on and off the road.

Save costs

React to critical situations, reduce the risk of spoiled goods, and avoid costs.

Be compliant

Show customers and compliance authorities proof that there was no break in the cold chain.

Support all your vehicles

Benefit from options to receive custom temperature data, accessible on one platform.

Key features

Live view of your refrigerated fleet

See all your temperature-controlled vehicles and trailers with their latest temperature status. Whether your fleet is moving vaccines or temperature-sensitive food goods, you can quickly validate that the cargo is at the correct temperature and minimize claims from damaged goods.¹

Real-time notifications

Alerts help you react to critical temperature events when a temperature exceeds either maximum or minimum thresholds. Temperature sensor thresholds are fully configurable. You set the thresholds based on the acceptable temperature range for cargo under your care. You're in control.

Temperature violation events

Get to the root cause of critical situations with an overview of all temperature violation events. Investigate where and why the temperature exceeds set thresholds, and zoom into detailed event analyses by vehicle.

cold chain monitoring temperature violation

Doors and cooling unit status

Digital inputs show door status (OPEN/CLOSE) and cooling unit status (ON/OFF), helping you and your drivers to react quickly to situations where the cold chain could be broken.

Location data

Pinpoint the exact location of temperature events to bring transparency to your cold chain operations. Location information is detailed for each temperature record, along with map trace view.²

Temperature data for cold chain transport

Access to historical data

Temperature data is archived for up to one year and available to view directly or via downloadable reports. This gives you, your customers, and compliance authorities the definitive proof that there was no break in the cold chain.

All you need to know about cold chain

What is cold chain?

There are many parts to the cold chain: the factory or the farm where the goods are produced; transporting the goods to storage, and transporting them onward again for final delivery to customers. Refrigerated fleets play a vital role in maintaining the safety and quality of transported goods.

What are examples of cold chain transport?

All goods transported in the cold chain are temperature sensitive. Examples of products that require cold-chain transport include food, medicine, vaccines, chemicals, plants, and medical equipment. Such goods must be transported within certain temperature ranges.

What is cold chain management?

Cold chain management is ensuring the safety and quality of temperature-sensitive products. Cold chain fleets achieve this by keeping cargo at consistent temperatures throughout the transport process. In the case of a temperature event, a fleet manager should be able to act quickly to avoid damaged goods.

What are the benefits of cold chain management?

The main benefit of cold chain management is protecting the integrity of cargo. The wrong temperature during transport leads to damaged and rejected goods, lost profits, and unhappy customers. In some cases, faulty temperatures can even pose risks to people's health. With proper cold chain management, fleets avoid compliance issues and reputational damage.

What is cold chain logistics?

Cold chain logistics is a process by which the transport of temperature-sensitive goods is managed along a supply chain, from production to consumption. Cold chain fleets strive to maintain a controlled and consistent temperature environment, which ensures the quality and safety of cargo throughout transport.

How to monitor your cold chain?

It’s essential to understand the root cause of a temperature issue. Otherwise, you can't really figure out a proactive response. Getting to the root cause requires seeing where, when, and why an event took place. That's why fleets are increasingly adopting cold chain telematics, which provides real-time temperature status and vehicle location data.

Which temperatures are used in cold chain transport?

Various temperatures are used in cold chain transport. Fleets must maintain certain ranges for whatever categories of cargo they carry. For instance, the general range for frozen goods is -18°C to -20°C. The ranges that fleets comply with can change from region to region/country to country. Fleets must therefore stay current with the regulations for the areas in which they transport temperature-sensitive goods.
