Starting point

Temperature disputes with customers were settled from paper logs. Rejected pallets could not be traced to a specific leg of the journey, and multi-drop routes were planned without live vehicle status.

Every pallet now arrives with its own temperature history attached.

What we deployed

  • Multi-probe reefer sensing with door and defrost event capture
  • Telematics fusion of GPS, temperature and stop dwell per consignment
  • Exception rules routed to dispatch before the excursion becomes a claim
  • Customer-facing temperature certificate generated per delivery

What changed

  • Disputes resolved with a signed data record instead of a driver's account
  • Dispatch intervenes mid-route rather than reviewing failures after arrival
  • Reefer maintenance prioritised by units with recurring excursions
