About this event

What this event is about

Temperature excursions on pharma and fresh-food shipments cost us and our customers millions in spoiled goods every year, and we usually find out only at delivery. We're looking for low-cost, reliable ways to monitor every pallet and reefer in real time (sensors, connectivity, predictive alerts) that plug into our existing transport management system. Winners pilot across three of our distribution centres in spring 2027.
