Pulse for Food & Beverage

A warming load is only a write-off if you find out at delivery. Temperature probes in reefers, chilled vans, and cold rooms stream into the same platform as vehicle position — so you catch the excursion while the product can still be saved, and prove the chain held when a customer asks.

  • Live reefer temperature
  • Cargo-specific thresholds
  • Per-trip temperature logs
  • Door and delivery events

Why it fits

What food & beverage operations get from Pulse

Four reasons cold chain and telematics belong on one platform.

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.

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.

Food & Beverage — Every reading knows which stop caused it

Cold chain

Every reading knows which stop caused it

Probes in reefer trailers, chilled vans, and cold rooms stream continuously beside GPS position, and every reading is stamped with trip, time, and place. Thresholds set per cargo profile fire the moment a unit drifts, and the per-trip history exports in one click — so an excursion is traced to the long door-open at the third stop instead of staying a mystery.

Food & Beverage — Hold the slot, stop by stop

Delivery windows

Hold the slot, stop by stop

Grocery and hospitality slots are tight and penalised. The round is planned on the real road graph — or imported whole by KML — and then grades itself as it runs: arrival and dwell at each stop come from zone crossings, the driven track lays over the plan, and the completion estimate slides the moment a delay starts. The depot knows the window is at risk before the customer does.

Food & Beverage — Prove what arrived, and in what state

Handover

Prove what arrived, and in what state

The delivery point is itself a geofence, so arrival and departure are stamped by the zone rather than claimed by the driver — nobody types where they were. Notes and the completion attach to that same record, and it sits beside the trip's temperature history and, where loads are sealed, the e-lock's access log. A rejected delivery is investigated against one complete record instead of argued over.

Operating realities

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.
