Why we exist

Build a cold chain where no shipment is wasted by avoidable temperature loss

Our mission is to convert reactive cold-chain operations into real-time, recovery-first systems that cut spoilage, methane, and write-offs at the same time[33][16].

How we get there

Three pillars of impact

📡01 / Detect

Surface risk before a load fails

Dock-side visual checks detect only 46% of excursions, while continuous monitoring can detect 97%, shrinking blind spots and enabling intervention before rejection.[4]

🚚02 / Reroute

Recover value from compromised inventory

When shelf life degrades in transit, dynamic rerouting and markdown automation can reduce spoilage costs by 38% and recover 60% to 80% of write-off value.[33]

🌍03 / Decarbonize

Prevent methane and protect margins

Food waste drives 58% of fugitive landfill methane in U.S. MSW systems. Cutting temperature-linked loss reduces emissions while unlocking billions in recoverable inventory value.[16]

How far we've come

Our impact roadmap

Baseline

Current loss profile

U.S. retailers discard roughly 16 billion pounds of product each year due to temperature mismanagement in transport and storage.[3]

Detection

Close the visibility gap

Replace passive logging with real-time telemetry that detects failures early enough for operational response.

Action

Automate recovery decisions

Use FEFO routing, markdown workflows, and secondary-market transfers to salvage inventory at risk.

Scale

Deploy across 500,000 reefers

Nationwide deployment is projected at $535.5M to $667M across three years with upper-bound annual SaaS spend of $198M.[45]

Outcome

Realize economic and climate returns

The model projects $15.2B in annual inventory recovery, ~$76.77 returned per $1 of annual tracking spend, and 13.3M MTCO2e avoided each year at scale.[33][34][50]
