Cold chain tracking and monitoring device
"The most intelligent cargo tracking solution on the market." - Eliot Kirby, Head of Innovation, DS Smith
Companies that use ParceLive
Cold chain monitoring from inside the shipment
To optimise cold chain logistics, businesses should follow best practice for safety, compliance and cost efficiency.
That is where ParceLive comes in.
Mentioned in the press
ParceLive’s seven sensors
Location
ParceLive reports the GPS location and condition of your shipment wherever there is a 2G mobile network, whichever carrier is moving it.
Track your shipment on land, at sea or in the air. Everything is in The Hub, at the reporting interval you choose.
Temperature
The temperature sensor records the temperatures the shipment is exposed to throughout the journey, accurate to ±0.5 °C between -10 °C and +65 °C.
See the shipment’s temperature in The Hub, wherever it is.
Humidity
The humidity sensor records the relative humidity the shipment is exposed to, from 0 to 100%.
See the shipment’s humidity in The Hub, wherever it is.
Tilt
If the tracker is tilted 35 degrees or more from its starting position, an alert is raised.
See in The Hub whether the shipment has been tilted.
Shock and drop
ParceLive records shocks from 2 to 16 g and alerts you straight away. It also raises an alert if the shipment is dropped (a fall of more than 0.4 seconds).
See in The Hub whether the shipment has had a shock or a drop.
Light
An alert is raised if the shipment is exposed to more than 4 lux of light, for example when the box is opened.
See in The Hub whether the shipment has been opened or exposed to light.

Cargo tracking and monitoring with seven sensors
ParceLive has seven sensors: light, humidity, temperature, shock, drop, pressure and tilt, plus GPS location. You get a record of the whole journey and an alert straight away when something happens, such as the shipment being dropped, kept at the wrong temperature or opened.
In The Hub, our web portal, you can follow real-time tracking data for each shipment as it travels.
No coding or technical knowledge needed: log in to follow your shipment through the supply chain.
Send ParceLive data into your own TMS, ERP or WMS through our API.

We look after the trackers
Tell us where you need trackers sent. When the journeys are complete, post the trackers back free from supported countries, or we will arrange a collection at no extra cost.
The trackers go back to a Hanhaa fulfilment centre to be recharged and updated, ready for their next journey.
You don’t have to look after the trackers before or after each journey, and each tracker is reused for many journeys.
Full supply chain visibility is a must! Through the application of ParceLive, we know the location and condition of all our shipments and most importantly, it's made simple.

ParceLive applications: cold chain
Pharmaceuticals
Many pharmaceutical products, drugs, vaccines and items for medical treatment require special care during transport. Not only must the cold chain always remain unbroken during shipment (everything must be kept within a precisely defined temperature range and humidity) but also the items must be protected against theft and unauthorised access. ParceLive records the temperature and humidity inside the shipment and, if a reading leaves your range, alerts you straight away with the time and GPS position.
Food
To keep your favourite foods fresh, a lot of produce, meat, fish and related products must be kept refrigerated or frozen not just in storage but also during the entire time in transport. This is often referred to as keeping the cold chain unbroken. ParceLive records the temperature inside the shipment for the whole journey and alerts you straight away if it leaves your range, so you can act before the goods are lost.
Wine & spirits
It should come as no surprise that spirits and wine are prone to theft in transport. But you might find it surprising to learn that wine corks require specific temperature and humidity conditions in order to keep wine sealed properly and to ensure that quality wine arrives in perfect condition at its end destination. That’s why wine producers and spirits distributors use ParceLive to record temperature, humidity and handling on the way.
Flowers
Shipping fresh flowers and living plants isn’t easy. Precisely the right temperature and humidity must be maintained at all times. ParceLive monitors those conditions and alerts you straight away when a reading leaves your range. So you can act quickly and give your products the best chance of arriving in good condition.

Common challenges in cold chain logistics
Despite the robust systems in place, cold chain logistics comes with its own set of challenges:
Temperature control failures: Mechanical failures in cooling systems or human error can lead to significant temperature fluctuations, which can spoil sensitive products.
Cost of implementation: The need for specialised equipment, such as refrigerated transport and active systems, can drive up costs. Smaller businesses may find it challenging to invest in the necessary infrastructure.
Regulatory compliance: Ensuring that all products meet international standards for temperature-sensitive goods can be a complex task, particularly when dealing with multiple regions with different regulations.
Supply chain complexity: Managing the cold chain across global supply chains with multiple transit points can be difficult, requiring tight coordination to maintain temperature integrity throughout the journey.
