How a pharmaceutical cold chain logistics provider achieved 99.4% temperature compliance and reduced spoilage by 89% using IoT sensors and blockchain-based supply chain visibility.
ChillChain Logistics specializes in temperature-controlled transportation for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and perishable foods. Operating 200+ refrigerated vehicles and 15 cold storage facilities, the company faced compliance risks: poor temperature monitoring, manual documentation, lack of real-time visibility, and frequent spoilage incidents costing ₹50L+ annually.
GridMatrix deployed an end-to-end cold chain visibility platform combining IoT temperature sensors, real-time alerts, blockchain-based immutable records, and predictive analytics — achieving 99.4% compliance and reducing spoilage by 89%.
The system combines industrial-grade temperature sensors (±0.1°C accuracy) deployed in 200+ vehicles and 15 facilities. Data streams to cloud via cellular/satellite with redundancy. A Node.js backend processes real-time data, triggers alerts via SMS/email, and logs transactions to a Hyperledger Fabric blockchain for immutability. Machine learning models (LSTM neural networks) trained on 2+ years of cold chain data predict temperature excursions with 94% accuracy. The dashboard built on React provides real-time KPI visualization, historical analytics, and compliance reporting. Integration with shipping management systems enables automated route optimization based on predicted temperature risks. All data is encrypted end-to-end and stored in India-compliant data centers.
ChillChain Logistics achieved 99.4% temperature compliance and reduced annual spoilage losses from ₹50L to ₹5.5L (89% reduction). The blockchain-based immutable records enabled perfect regulatory compliance — passing 100% of audits with zero findings. Customer confidence improved, leading to ₹5Cr+ in new pharmaceutical contracts. The company now offers cold chain visibility as a premium service to customers, creating a new revenue stream. By preventing spoilage and ensuring regulatory compliance, ChillChain has positioned itself as the most trusted cold chain logistics operator in India.
