Grocery Cold Chain Temperature & Tracking

SMARTER MONITORING TO PROTECT YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN

Grocers face various challenges today, from Managing inbound grocery Cold-Chain Products from Suppliers to traceability of products to Last Mile and employee compliance to operating procedures.

  • Up to 12% of all inbound product is rejected at the truck level due to surplus, damage, or improper transportation and handling
  • Limited capability to react to recalls at the consumer level with no practical way to track what product was purchased by which customer
  • Current methods for monitoring the proper handling of products throughout the supply chain do not allow for granular analysis

Grocers need better data to make decisions across a variety of challenges to increase revenue and reduce cost. The Varcode Smart Data Solution (VSDS) is a simple solution that solves complex grocery cold chain temperature and tracking problems!
