Reimagine Cold Chain Logistics

Making the cold supply chain more intelligent and efficient

When shipping sensitive goods—from ice cream to insulin—industries today are losing billions of dollars, thanks to poor monitoring of temperature and humidity. Inadequate monitoring represents a public health concern and can lead to regulatory penalties.

Leveraging the SAP® Leonardo digital innovation system—which includes capabilities such as IoT, machine learning, and blockchain—Deloitte has developed a new ready-to-deploy solution that can help address cold supply chain challenges.

Manage the "cold" supply chain like never before.

Address the challenges that come with monitoring and maintaining temperature, humidity, and other conditions as goods move through the “cold” supply chain. Reimagine Cold Chain brings real-time insights and intelligent IoT capabilities supported by the SAP Leonardo digital innovation system—to help you take cold chain management to the next level. With Reimagine Cold Chain, your organisation can improve its ability to maintain product quality and avoid losses.

The solution can help you reduce spoilage costs by as much as 5 percent, through real-time monitoring and historical analytics for the cold supply chain, including critical environmental parameters for products. With a reimagined cold chain, all roads lead to the potential for greater customer satisfaction and operational efficiencies—thanks to improved product quality, safer distribution practices, certified delivery, and predictive maintenance.
