The Ultimate Guide to Temperature Tracking for Modern Supply Chains

A Better Way to Track Temperature

Supply chains, especially those in the food and beverage industry, are under intense pressure to improve performance in order to meet the demands of a changing market.

Customers are more demanding than ever before: personalization, selection, quality, and speed, all at lower costs.

Retailers have, in turn, placed stricter requirements on their suppliers and carriers, enforcing costly fines and penalties for any deliveries that don’t arrive on time and in full.

Managing a successful supply chain in the face of these challenges would be difficult even with a dedicated fleet of drivers.

But with a persistent capacity crunch and the costs of equipment utilization, supply chain managers must take advantage of all efficiency opportunities - or risk falling behind.

Advances in real-time temperature tracking technology can give cold chain shippers the proactive tools they need to safeguard their inventory, no matter where it’s headed.

4 Steps to Ensuring Your Temperature-sensitive Cargo

3. Track and manage total time in transit. Ensure that you are communicating with your carriers and partners to track every minute spent out of cold storage - not just transport time.
4. Foster an environment of accountability within your organization, and pick partners you can trust to hold themselves responsible.
