Temperature, continuously
Readings stream around the clock rather than being sampled at handover, so a failing unit is a maintenance job instead of a spoiled load.
Why it fits
What food & beverage operations get from Pulse
Four reasons cold chain and telematics belong on one platform.
Alerts before spoilage
Thresholds set per cargo profile trigger the moment a unit drifts, leaving time to dispatch a repair, divert the load, or move product.
Temperature meets position
Every reading is stamped with trip, time, and location, so an excursion traces back to the long door-open at the third stop rather than staying a mystery.
Audit without the binders
Per-trip temperature histories export in one click for customer proof and food-safety audits, drawn from the record that ran the delivery.
Cold chain
One map answers both questions at once
Where is the load, and how cold is it. Probes in reefer trailers, chilled vans, and cold rooms report beside GPS position on the same canvas, so dispatch and quality stop working from two systems that have to be manually correlated.

Delivery performance
Keep the window without burning the fuel
Grocery and hospitality delivery slots are tight and penalised. Live positions, planned routes, and deviation alerts protect the window, while idle and consumption analytics stop the schedule being met by simply driving harder.

Handover
Prove what arrived, and in what state
Proof-of-delivery capture in the driver app pairs with the trip's temperature history and, where loads are sealed, the e-lock's access log — so a rejected delivery is investigated against a complete record rather than argued over.

What this sector demands
What makes food distribution unforgiving.
01
The product is perishable and the clock is real
Unlike most freight, a delay does not just annoy a customer — it destroys the value of the load, which changes what counts as a timely alert.
02
Different cargo, different rules
Frozen, chilled, and ambient loads share vehicles and routes but not thresholds, so alerting has to be per cargo profile rather than per vehicle.
03
Retail customers audit you
Major buyers require documented cold-chain evidence, so the ability to export a clean per-trip history is a commercial requirement, not a reporting feature.
04
A silent sensor looks like a good sensor
A probe that stops reporting reads as 'no alerts'. Sensor health has to travel with the data or you discover the gap at the worst moment.
