The Problem

10% of temperature-sensitive products are damaged due to cold chain breaks. FDA requires continuous temperature logging for pharmaceuticals. A single spoiled pharmaceutical shipment can cost $50K–$500K. Manual temperature logging with data loggers provides data only after delivery — too late to intervene.

The Solution

IoT cold chain platform with real-time temperature sensors, cellular-connected monitors, instant excursion alerts, automated compliance reports, and predictive analytics warning before temperatures breach thresholds.

Target Audience

Pharmaceutical distributors with cold chain compliance requirements, food distributors managing temperature-sensitive perishables, and biotech companies shipping temperature-critical materials

Why Now?

COVID vaccine distribution proved cold chain importance. FDA enforcement of temperature logging increasing. IoT cellular costs dropped 80%. Predictive analytics can prevent excursions instead of just documenting them.

Revenue Model

Per-sensor: $15/sensor/mo (up to 20), $10/sensor/mo (20–100), $7/sensor/mo (100+). Hardware: $49/sensor. Platform: $199/mo minimum. Annual: 20% discount.

Competitive Landscape

Enterprise cold chain. $100K+/yr, requires professional services

Emerson/Copeland

Industrial cold chain monitoring. Enterprise pricing, hardware-heavy

Tive

Supply chain visibility with temperature. $20/tracker, growing product

USB data loggers

$5–$20/logger but data available only after delivery, no real-time alerts
