Cold chain solution
Gain near real-time cold chain visibility to protect, comply and optimise operations.

Get temperature-sensitive goods to their destination, worry-free.
Transporting temperature-sensitive goods without a reliable cold chain can lead to spoilage, regulatory fines, and costly delays. Manual checks and disconnected data streams make it difficult to maintain consistent temperatures and react quickly to issues. Geotab's Cold Chain Solution equips fleet managers with access to critical cargo temperature insights at their fingertips. With near-real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and audit-ready compliance data, you gain end-to-end visibility and peace of mind—keeping your most sensitive shipments safe and your operations efficient.
