Cold Chain & Power Monitoring

Know the moment a fridge fails, and which stock it affected

A small sensor in each fridge, freezer or cold room reports the temperature every minute and tells you the moment the fridge loses power. When something goes wrong, the right people are alerted on their phones, and the stock that was inside is held back from sale automatically until a pharmacist decides what to do with it.

Built for

Community and retail pharmacies, pharmacy chains, hospital pharmacies and clinics that store vaccines, insulin, biologics or other temperature-sensitive medicines.

Live temperature and power, on your phone

Every fridge on one screen, worst first, updating by itself.

Continuous readings

Each unit reports every minute. See the temperature now, the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, with the allowed range shaded on the chart.

Power loss warning

The sensor runs from the same socket as the fridge and has its own backup battery, so you are alerted the moment the fridge loses power, before the temperature starts to rise.

No gaps when the internet drops

Readings are stored on the sensor during an internet outage and sent when the connection returns, so the record stays complete.

Limits per unit

Ready profiles for refrigerated, frozen and blood product storage, or your own limits, with a delay so door openings during busy hours do not raise alarms.

Alerts that reach a person

A beep in an empty building at night protects nothing.

  • Alerts in the app, by SMS, by WhatsApp and by email
  • Escalation: pharmacists first, then managers, then administrators if nobody responds
  • Staff acknowledge in the app or simply reply to the message
  • Quiet hours for routine alerts; critical alerts always go through
  • Separate alerts for too warm, too cold, power loss and a silent sensor
  • Alert messages in your team language

The link to your stock

The part a standalone fridge alarm cannot do.

01

Find the exposed batches

When an excursion happens, the system works out which batches of cold chain products were in that fridge at the time, including stock moved out since, and how long each was exposed.

02

Hold them at the till

Exposed batches are placed under review and the point of sale refuses them, with a clear message, so damaged stock is not sold by mistake.

03

A pharmacist decides

Release with a documented reason, quarantine while you wait for advice, or discard with a proper write-off that shows up in your financial reports.

Records an inspector can trust

  • Readings cannot be edited; corrections are added as dated notes
  • Every acknowledgement, root cause, limit change and stock decision is audited with the user and time
  • Daily temperature log per unit as a PDF, with a line for the reviewer signature
  • Full excursion report and period summaries as PDF or CSV
  • Times in your local time zone, temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit
  • Records kept for the period you choose, never below the minimum for your country

What it connects to

Built on international health-data standards so it fits the systems and instruments you already run.

Pharmacy stock and batches

Knows which batches are in which unit, and when they moved.

Point of sale

Refuses batches held for cold chain review until a pharmacist decides.

Product catalogue

Products flagged as needing cold storage are the ones checked after an excursion.

Messaging

Alerts by app, SMS, WhatsApp and email, with replies to acknowledge.

Financial reporting

Cold chain write-offs appear with their reason and value.

Reports

Daily logs, excursion reports and summaries as PDF or CSV.

What you get out of it

  • Fridge failures found in minutes, not at opening time
  • No exposed stock sold by mistake
  • Fewer discards, because you can prove how short an excursion was
  • A complete temperature record ready for any inspection

Common questions

How is it priced?

It is an add-on billed per active sensor per month, with pricing adjusted to your country, plus a one-off cost for each sensor. See the pricing page for current figures. A sensor is only charged for a month in which it sends readings.

Do I need a special fridge?

No. The sensor works with pharmaceutical fridges, domestic fridges, freezers and cold rooms. You set the allowed range for each unit.

What happens during a power cut?

The sensor keeps working on its backup battery and sends a power loss alert straight away. If the temperature then goes out of range, a temperature alert follows and the stock inside is held for review.

Will opening the door set off alarms?

Not normally. An excursion only counts after the temperature has stayed out of range for a set delay, ten minutes by default and adjustable for each unit.

What if our internet connection is unreliable?

The sensor stores readings while offline and sends them when the connection returns. Where Wi-Fi is weak, a cellular sensor is available.

Do I need the full pharmacy system?
