Cold-chain delivery for reefer distribution fleets
Run refrigerated van distribution — eggs, frozen meat and fish, dairy, and pharma — with live temperature on the fleet map, alerts routed by reason, printable cold-chain proof, and the whole operation (trips, fuel, garage, drivers, accounts) on one system in Bangladesh.
Use cases
- Refrigerated van beat delivery with dealer stop proof and a temperature log at each drop.
- Egg and frozen-goods distribution where returns follow "spoiled on arrival" disputes without a timeline.
- Pharma and vaccine routes needing an excursion report for QA and client audit.
- Multi-depot cold-chain with a control-room board for vans out of temperature band.
- Fish and perishable runs with an SMS alert when a reefer idles at a non-customer location.
- Owner or client audit pack — map, stops, and temperature chart on one trip export.
Why you need this
- Temperature lives only on a controller in the cab — the office and owner never see it live.
- No alert fires when a van goes out of range, so spoilage is found at day-end, after the loss.
- A photo of a thermometer is not proof — clients and QA want a movement-linked temperature record.
- Every truck carries a different display and no shared history across the fleet.
- Trips, fuel, garage, and drivers on paper mean leakage, downtime, and no accountability.
- Return disputes without data are argued, not proven — and the loss lands on the operator.
Key modules
Typical workflows
- Depot load → pre-cool reading → beat plan publish → live temp + GPS → dealer geofence arrival → stop duration log → trip close → invoice from confirmed stops → audit export.
- Excursion alert → SMS to the routed number → driver callback → QA hold → client notification with the trip graph.
- Sensor offline → block trip complete → device swap or workshop → resume route with the new probe linked to the unit.
- Return dispute → shared trip timeline with temperature curve and stop sequence → credit-note decision.
Where cold-chain quietly goes blind
On most reefer vans the temperature lives only on a controller in the cab — the office never sees it, no alert fires, and there is no proof to hand a customer. Spoilage is discovered at day-end, after the loss.
Temperature only in the cab
Office and owner cannot see it live — a van can drift far out of range with nobody notified.
No excursion alert
Eggs, frozen goods, or medicine spoil first and get discovered later — returns and disputes follow.
No cold-chain proof
A photo of a thermometer is not a record — clients and QA need a movement-linked temperature timeline.
Every truck a different display
One brand of controller on one van, another on the next — no single screen, no shared history across the fleet.
The rest of the fleet is blind too
Trips, fuel, garage, and drivers on paper — leakage, downtime, and no accountability.
Loss lands on the operator
A return dispute without data means the credit note is argued, not proven — and usually lost.
Live temperature, routed alerts, real proof
The sensor already on the reefer feeds Autonemo VMS Pro directly — every van live on one dashboard, a min/max band per vehicle, and an SMS the moment a reading leaves its band.
Live gauge per probe
Front and back probes each on their own gauge, with freezer and ignition status — no manual entry.
Per-vehicle safe band
Set min and max per unit — chilled produce versus deep-frozen — and colour and status track that band.
Alerts routed by reason
Choose which number is texted for High, Low, or Sensor-Offline — with a re-alert cooldown to stop spam.
Offline probe caught
A sensor that stops reporting is a compliance risk — flagged before the trip is closed.
Day-log & excursion reports
Printable day-log, excursion, and fleet-summary reports — cold-chain proof for any customer or audit.
Multi-vehicle trend
Compare vans over the day, week, or month and export the trend as CSV.
One delivery run, load to invoice
Temperature is one lane of the whole run — the same trip carries the route, the stops, the proof, and the bill.
Load & pre-cool
Trip start captures the set-point and first reading before the van leaves the depot.
Beat & live watch
Planned outlet stops with live GPS and temperature on one screen through the run.
Excursion → alert
An out-of-band reading texts the right person instantly, so a reroute can still save the load.
Stop proof at each drop
Arrival counts inside the geofence; stop duration and door pair with the temperature trend.
Close, report & bill
The trip closes with a temperature chart and stop list — invoice from confirmed stops, not driver paper.
Who runs on it — and the modules behind it
Cold-chain delivery sits inside Autonemo VMS Pro: temperature is linked to trips, fleet GPS, fuel, garage, drivers, and accounts — one system for the whole operation.
Egg & agro delivery
Chilled produce beats with drop-level proof and a temperature log at each outlet.
Frozen meat & fish
Deep-frozen routes with tight low-limit alerts and return-dispute evidence.
Dairy & ice cream
Time-sensitive runs with a live board for late-van reroute before spoilage.
Pharma & vaccine
Chain-of-custody log and excursion report for QA and distributor audit.
Full fleet suite
Trips, fuel with theft detection, garage job cards, drivers, and GPS — all connected.
Accounts & compliance
Billing from confirmed stops plus an audit-ready cold-chain export.
