Cold Chain Management
Temperature continuously monitored, at any location
Temperature monitoring during transport and storage
Pharmaceutical products, food and other temperature-sensitive goods require accurate monitoring during transport. GPS-Buddy's temperature and humidity sensors continuously measure conditions. Deviations outside the set margin are reported immediately, so action can be taken before goods are damaged or rejected. At the same time, the recorded data provides the evidence needed to meet legal requirements such as HACCP and GDP.
What Cold Chain Management delivers
Temperature continuously monitored
Temperature and humidity are visible at any moment.
Direct notification on deviation
An alert follows as soon as a value falls outside the set margin, so action can be taken in time.
Real-time insight into deliveries
Delivery status and expected arrival time are visible in real time, alongside the temperature data.
Evidence for legal compliance
Temperature history and notifications provide the evidence needed to demonstrate HACCP and GDP compliance.

Monitoring and alerts
Temperature and humidity per vehicle or compartment are visible in real time in Flowter. Where applicable, the core temperature is also calculated, alongside the ambient temperature. Threshold values can be set independently: as soon as a deviation occurs outside the margin, a notification follows immediately, so action can be taken.

Temperature reports, instantly shareable
Temperature data can be shared directly: live via track & trace, as a report, or as an attachment to a digital delivery note. Data can also be fed back automatically via API to customers or supply chain partners. Measurements are stored and can be retrieved at any time. This provides the evidence needed to demonstrate HACCP and GDP compliance.
Trailer tracking system
In cold chain transport, the towing truck changes regularly, while the same trailer carrying the temperature-sensitive load continues. With the trailer tracking system, truck and trailer are automatically linked, each with their own ID in Flowter, and can also be combined with temperature monitoring. This means that during an inspection or audit, it can always be shown which combination drove which trip.
Cold chain management in practice
From timely alerts to demonstrable compliance: this case shows what it delivers when temperature monitoring is part of one integrated platform.
Fresh stays fresh, from route to delivery
Huuskes supplies food to care institutions, hospitals and private individuals, from fresh vegetables to complete meals. During delivery, sometimes after an hour of standstill at a location, temperature must never fall outside HACCP limits for a moment.
With GPS-Buddy's temperature tags, temperature is measured continuously, alongside a calculation of the products' core temperature. As soon as a value approaches the limit, a notification follows, so action can be taken immediately. For clients and care institutions, this provides reports that show exactly how temperature behaved during the trip and upon delivery.
For Huuskes, it doesn't stop at temperature. Tachograph data is read automatically, driving behaviour and fuel consumption are visible via CANbus, and drivers work with the Driver App for tasks and communication. Cold chain management at Huuskes is part of one integrated system, in which vehicles, temperature and compliance come together.

Cold Chain Management is part of Flowter
Temperature-sensitive goods require reliable data. This data provides insight, and allows for targeted adjustments. Temperature-controlled transport is part of Flowter, GPS-Buddy's Asset Intelligence platform. Flowter provides a complete picture of the operation: vehicles, machines, people and equipment. Not just where assets are, but also how they are used and how they perform. This data forms the basis for managing costs, efficiency, safety and sustainability.

Frequently asked questions and answers. Is your question not listed? Feel free to contact us.
What is temperature-controlled transport?
Temperature-controlled transport is the continuous measurement and recording of temperature and humidity, during transport and within an organisation's own operation, with the aim of signalling deviations in time and demonstrating compliance.
Does temperature monitoring also work without transport taking place?
Yes. Within an organisation's own operation too, for example during storage, temperature and humidity are tracked as soon as a vehicle or machine with GPS-Buddy hardware is nearby.
How are truck and trailer linked when used separately?
Truck and trailer each get their own ID and can also be traced independently of one another, for example when a trailer is transported by multiple trucks in a single day. This means it is always possible to see which combination drove which trip.
Is the core temperature of a product also measured?
Where applicable, the core temperature is calculated alongside the ambient temperature, visible in a temperature graph per order.
Does GPS-Buddy comply with HACCP and GDP requirements?
GPS-Buddy provides the temperature and humidity data needed to demonstrate this compliance.
Can threshold values for notifications be set independently?
Yes. As soon as a deviation occurs outside the set margin, a notification follows immediately.
Can customers or supply chain partners also view the temperature data themselves?
Yes. Data can be shared via the platform, as an attachment to a digital delivery note, or fed back automatically via API.
