Webfleet introduces Webfleet Cold Chain. This platform can help conditioned transport fleets to maintain the quality and safety of goods through real-time temperature regulation. This is important to avoid additional costs due to damaged goods or non-compliance with regulations.

Refrigerated goods must be transported within a certain temperature range. Irregular temperatures can damage goods such as medicines, groceries and electronics. Maintaining a constant temperature is also important for public safety: Improper temperatures can cause foodborne illness.

Shipping goods at the wrong temperature can result in rejected loads, as well as financial costs and damage to the reputation of the transport company. Fleet managers must act quickly to resolve potential problems, but without visibility into their cargo, they have no way of knowing if the temperature is out of range or if the truck driver is setting the wrong temperature.

With Webfleet Cold Chain, fleet managers can easily monitor and record the temperature of their refrigerated goods in real time. This allows fleet managers and truck drivers to react quickly to adverse temperature fluctuations and reduces the risk of goods damage. Thanks to real-time insights, drivers can also verify at the time of delivery that the goods have maintained a constant temperature during transport.

“We pride ourselves on helping carriers protect goods, avoid fees and satisfy their customers,” said Taco van der Leij, Vice President of Webfleet Europe. “Webfleet Cold Chain provides refrigerated transportation fleets with the tools and insights they need to grow successfully. Our solutions make compliance with applicable regulations and standards much easier, all from a single platform.”

Webfleet solutions can support all types of refrigerated transport fleets. It is therefore suitable for any trailer, rigid or van, as long as the vehicle is equipped with refrigeration equipment and is used to keep the load at the proper temperature.

Webfleet’s new Cold Chain solution aligns with the Bridgestone E8 Commitment, which serves as a guide for Webfleet’s transformation as a sustainable solutions partner, acting as a compass to guide management while building the trust of next generations to win.
