In cold chain logistics, timing isn’t just important—it’s everything. From pharmaceuticals to fresh produce, a few degrees can be the difference between delivery and disaster. With labor shortages, rising consumer expectations, and complex global supply chains, maintaining temperature stability under pressure has never been more difficult or more critical.
According to the USDA, 30–40% of the U.S. food supply is wasted each year, much of it due to breakdowns during transportation and storage. In temperature-sensitive supply chains, spoilage can occur in as little as 20 minutes of temperature deviation, turning a minor delay into a costly claim. For industries handling food, pharma, or chemicals, failure isn’t just expensive. It’s dangerous.
In many operations, temperature checks still rely on outdated paper logs or fragmented digital records. Manual reporting introduces delay, human error, and compliance risk. When you’re dealing with dozens—or thousands—of reefer trailers, real-time data is crucial.
NSSL addresses these challenges with Shuntware®, a yard management system purpose-built for cold chain. By combining live trailer monitoring with automated logging and predictive alerts, it creates a stable environment even in high-volume, high-pressure conditions. Shuntware® tracks trailer temperatures, fuel levels, and dwell times in real time, giving operators full visibility into the health of every load.
Even in operations without telematics, NSSL employs rigorous manual verification at every key checkpoint—from gate-in to plug-in, and again at departure. These layers of protection help maintain temperature integrity through yard congestion, shift transitions, and network delays.
Temperature Control That Works in the Real World
NSSL helped one major grocery client save 113 loads and avoid over $5.5 million in claims.
In high-pressure cold chain environments, stability is about building a system that holds up under stress. With advanced monitoring, SOPs, and cold chain-trained teams, NSSL helps you keep your operation compliant, efficient, and spoilage-free.
