Cold Chain & Temperature
Protect temperature integrity from booking to POD evidence
Manage temperature setpoints, equipment needs, sensor events, and excursion exceptions for refrigerated and controlled-environment freight.

Temp evidence
The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Cold-chain failures are often discovered after delivery, when product is already compromised and claim packages lack continuous evidence.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS captures temperature requirements on the consignment, enforces equipment fit, and records excursions against the shipment for ops and claims.
What you can do
Cold Chain & Temperature is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Temperature range and setpoint capture on orders and shipments
Equipment and zone compatibility checks during planning
Ingest sensor and telematics temperature events
Open exceptions on excursions and door-open risk patterns
Attach temperature logs to documents and claim files
Customer visibility into controlled-environment status where enabled
Business benefits
Outcomes procurement, ops, and finance leaders use to justify the platform.
- Match reefer equipment to product requirements early
- Detect excursions before customers escalate
- Attach temperature evidence to POD and claim packs
- Standardize cold-chain SOPs across lanes and carriers
Typical use cases
Pharma and life-sciences controlled distribution
Food and grocery reefer networks with multi-stop delivery
3PLs running multi-customer cold-chain programs

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for operations, IT, and finance evaluators.
Do temperature requirements block incompatible load builds?+
Yes. Cold-chain and product-class constraints participate in consolidation and equipment checks.
Can sensor data create exceptions automatically?+
Temperature events outside configured thresholds can open exception cases for control-tower response.
Is temperature evidence available with ePOD?+
Logs and excursion records can attach to the same shipment archive used for POD and claims.
