The Challenge
A nationwide FMCG network operating cold rooms, reefers, and refrigerated transport struggled to maintain temperature compliance consistently. Lack of real-time monitoring and reliance on manual thermometer readings resulted in:
Delayed detection of temperature excursions
Product quality risk during storage and transportation
Compliance breaches impacting audits & regulatory credibility
No centralized view of temperature deviations or history
High dependency on manual logging & field verification
“Without centralized IoT monitoring, cold chain integrity relied on manual measurement and delayed reporting — creating product risk and operational blind spots.”

Cold Chain Breaks With No Real-Time Visibility
Our Solution
Real-Time Cold Chain Temperature Monitoring System (RTMS)
We built RTMS — an integrated cold chain monitoring platform using IoT sensors, centralized data pipelines, and real-time visualization dashboards to ensure temperature compliance across the primary cold chain.
RTMS captures temperature data from cold rooms, production storage, and refrigerated vehicles, delivering automated alerts, predictive insights, and audit-ready compliance records.

Results and Impact
Digitizing temperature monitoring transformed cold chain governance from reactive manual checks to proactive, automated compliance. RTMS eliminated visibility gaps, allowing deviation detection within seconds and triggering corrective actions before product quality was impacted.
Production facilities, regional warehouses, and transportation fleets now operate with continuous temperature logs and automated alerts, ensuring product integrity end-to-end.
Leadership gained heat maps, regional performance dashboards, and trend analysis — enabling preventive interventions, reducing spoilage, and strengthening regulatory compliance confidence.
RTMS established a scalable foundation for cold chain excellence and future expansion into humidity, vibration, and asset health monitoring.
