The Challenge with Fresh
Managing fresh foods is difficult, as small differences in time and temperature exposure for each unit throughout the cold chain lead to outsized impact on freshness and remaining shelf life.
The lack of visibility into food’s actual remaining freshness creates challenges for D2C food brands and online grocers:

Introducing:
Cold Chain Freshness Management
Evigence’s Cold Chain Freshness Management combines sensors and data analytics to enable real-time optimization of freshness across the entire supply chain.
Sensors
Sensors are applied at the moment of production or packing, at the retail unit level, to react to aggregate temperature exposure over time
Scans
Sensors are scanned digitally and read physically throughout the supply chain – in transit, at retail, or by the consumer – for an instant read of remaining freshness
Insights
Scan data is uploaded to the Evigence Insights Engine for analytics, visualization and generation of insights for corporate users
Freshness data collection and insights
in real time from farm to retail
