5 Benefits of In-Transit Temperature Monitoring

Read Now

Shipping perishable foods presents a unique set of challenges:

Lack of in-transit visibility

Food’s journey—from farms and production facilities to restaurants and retail shelves—can be full of black holes: shippers lack a clear, real-time picture of their freight’s location and condition, leading to delays and lost shipments.

Spoilage and food waste

Almost 70% of food waste occurs before it reaches retailers or consumers, according to the USDA. Unexpected delays or temperature excursions in transit often result in costly rejections—or even entirely spoiled loads that end up in landfills.

How to Implement Real-Time Tracking of Valuable Perishables Shipments

Quick access to traceability data

Standards for traceability and food safety grow stricter every day, and digitally tracking key events is critical. A lack of in-transit temperature insights, tedious manual record-keeping processes, and disorganized data can make it difficult for food shippers to stay compliant.
