Temperature-controlled freight is a type of specialist logistics solution that transports perishable or temperature-sensitive items, including food, medicines, chemicals, and biological materials. Maintaining exact temperature ranges throughout the transportation lifetime is crucial for ensuring product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. CargoWise enables temperature-controlled logistics by combining comprehensive tracking, monitoring, and reporting capabilities that smoothly handle cold chain requirements across the supply chain.
CargoWise allows shippers and freight forwarders to specify temperature requirements, choose suitable carriers and equipment (such as refrigerated vehicles, reefers, or air cargo with temperature zones), and track shipments in real time. Alerts warn stakeholders when temperature limits are exceeded, allowing for prompt action to prevent spoiling or damage. Compliance with industry requirements, such as Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and FDA recommendations, is facilitated by automated documentation and audit trails. Temperature-controlled freight in CargoWise enables businesses to protect sensitive goods, decrease losses, and assure customer satisfaction across worldwide markets.
