CtrlChain manages shipments for its customers across Europe and the US.

To do that, it needs reliable vehicle data from every carrier it works with. For its cold-chain customers, that data must prove something specific: that temperature levels stayed compliant for the whole journey.

The challenge: why now

Auditors, insurers and customers increasingly ask for real-time, documented proof of temperature compliance, not a spreadsheet compiled after delivery. That means monitoring temperature from the trailer in real time, with an alert the moment a load moves out of range, early enough to act on it.

Without it, a temperature breach is only found on arrival, when the load may already be lost and the cost falls to someone. Checking this by hand does not scale across providers or across two markets.

“Our product development is driven by a clear goal: giving customers greater control over their transport. CO3's real-time vehicle data fits directly into that vision, helping us build capabilities that connect what's happening on the road with timely decisions and action.”

The solution

CO3 feeds CtrlChain's own system with vehicle data from 570+ integrations across Europe and the US, including temperature readings from partner trailers. CtrlChain uses that data inside its platform to raise an alert as soon as a reading moves out of range, giving customers documented, real-time proof of compliance.

Frequent GPS updates from CO3 keep the ETAs and exception handling in CtrlChain's system accurate across its shipments.

The impact

Cold-chain customers get documented temperature control instead of after-the-fact records:

  • Continuous temperature proof from pickup to delivery.
  • Deviations flagged in real time, early enough to act and save the load.
  • One data feed across Europe and the US without hardware needs, replacing manual checks.
