‍Any business involved in logistics or the transportation of cool or cold goods understands the major need for temperature control in freight. Trucks, boats, trains, and other means of mass transportation have to be specially modified to prevent perishable goods from shipping damages. Thermal boxes can be incredibly helpful tools to use for cold chain management. But what exactly are they, and what exactly is cold chain management?

Medicine, meat, flowers, and all goods that require temperature control have one thing in common; they all are monitored during transport to make sure they are fresh and in usable condition. That’s the first glimpse into the concept we are discussing today, temperature monitoring systems in logistics. You’ll learn the basics of a temperature monitoring system, what to look for in choosing a system, and how it can solve logistical problems. First, we’ll jump in by answering the most basic question: What is a temperature monitoring system?

An effective logistics strategy can create momentum for an organisation in many ways. From propelling local sales, to driving exports and creating opportunities in new markets throughout the world. Cold chain logistics managers have the same opportunities, but a myriad of other unique requirements to consider and satisfy.

How did you like that steak you had at the restaurant last weekend? Did your toddler get that measles vaccine? Do you love to wake up to the smell of fresh roses on the bedside table? Meat, vaccines, freshly-cut flowers, and more have one thing in common – they all require refrigerated transport to get to you in unspoiled or usable condition. This is where the concept of cold chain management comes into play. 

Consumer electronics make up a significant volume of goods. From laptops to smartphones, virtually everyone out there is using or shopping for a personal consumer electronic device for home, work, school, etc. When it comes to the brands that make and ship these products, very particular conditions need to be maintained. And the shipments, down to the final mile, need to be efficiently monitored through the use of a freight monitoring system such as Logmore.

Moving different types of freight can require different kinds of shipment monitoring and safety precautions to ensure the undamaged delivery of products. One type of product requires extremely careful planning when it comes to shipping-- fragile industrial electronics.

Online shopping and home deliveries are at an all time high, making effective last mile logistics vital for a wide range of services. Food, pharmaceuticals, and other everyday consumer goods are being shipped in tens of thousands of parcels every single day.

Amazon is one of the global online retail giants setting the bar for e-commerce logistics. Under normal circumstances, the company can make deliveries to customers within 24 to 48 hours through its Prime Delivery label.

Rainer Sternfeld, Managing Partner at NordicNinja VC explains why the esteemed VC decided to invest in Logmore.

150+ quality management teams across food, pharma, and electronics industries use Logmore’s groundbreaking data logging service to monitor and control quality of goods in their supply chains.

If you’re involved in the logistics or shipping industries, you’ve probably heard of terms like “less-than-truckload.” So what is LTL freight? It’s far from an old concept, but there are a ton of great benefits to using LTL freight shipping for your own business. However, this all comes down to the volume and weight of your business’ shipments. In this in-depth guide, we’ll be looking at the benefits and best practices for LTL, LTL meaning and definition, and the differences between LTL and FTL freight.

Logistics and supply chains are seeing innovations like never before right now. Advanced logistics and robot process automation are changing how logistics processes work, but how?

There are massive changes occurring in today’s supply chains. Broadly, automated changes and data analytics are increasing efficiency and expanding possibilities. If you’re looking to modernize or improve your own supply chain though, there’s something else to consider as well: sustainability.

Quality assurance is a valuable aspect of just about any business out there. However, for logistics companies, quality assurance is much more than valuable-- it’s indispensable.

Coronavirus is on the rise, and many business owners around the world are concerned about how the epidemic could affect their livelihood and health. Multiple countries have reported cases of coronavirus, as well as a slowly growing death toll.

Customer experience matters. And logistics companies are beginning to pick up on just how much it matters. In this guide, we’ll be looking at a handful of things a logistics business can do to achieve success in customer experience.

Producing food for the world's rapidly growing population is incredibly taxing on many natural resources. Irrigation and fertilization are imperative to raise crops. To rear cattle, you need access to water, land for grazing and grains for finishing. Processed foods consume electricity during the manufacturing process, and each item not grown locally must be shipped.

Big pharma is no stranger to controversy. Realistically, when you’re quantifying and monetizing such a sensitive product, there’s no avoiding public scrutiny. However, the usual hot-button topics aren’t what we’re discussing. Instead, we’re here to put big pharma under a microscope for an entirely different reason—assessing its carbon footprint. Unfortunately, the verdict is – overall – quite ghastly.
