What is Coldcubed?

Coldcubed is a cloud-based cold chain intelligence platform that helps businesses monitor temperature-sensitive products in real time. Unlike many providers, we design and manufacture our own industrial-grade sensors in South Africa, ensuring reliable performance and seamless integration with our platform. Combined with live monitoring, automated alerts, compliance reporting and Thermal Forensics™, Coldcubed helps reduce product loss, improve food safety and simplify compliance.

What is Thermal Forensics?

Thermal Forensics is Coldcubed's method of reconstructing exactly what happened during a temperature incident. Instead of simply telling you that an alarm occurred, it creates a complete timeline showing when temperatures changed, what caused the deviation, how long products were affected and what actions were taken—giving you clear answers instead of assumptions.

How do Coldcubed sensors work?

Coldcubed sensors continuously measure temperature and securely transmit data to the cloud. Readings are automatically recorded, monitored and analysed in real time, allowing users to access live information, receive instant alerts and generate detailed reports from anywhere.

Can I monitor multiple locations?

Yes. Whether you manage one cold room or hundreds of facilities across multiple regions, Coldcubed allows you to monitor all locations through one central dashboard with individual alerts, reports and user permissions.

What industries does Coldcubed support?

Coldcubed supports any industry where temperature control is critical, including food manufacturing, cold storage, distribution, pharmaceutical logistics, hospitality, retail refrigeration, healthcare and agriculture.

Will I receive alerts immediately?

Yes. When temperatures move outside your predefined limits, Coldcubed can send instant notifications so your team can respond quickly before product quality or compliance is compromised.

Does Coldcubed help with HACCP and compliance?

Absolutely. Coldcubed automatically records temperature history, stores tamper-proof data and generates audit-ready reports that support HACCP, ISO and other food safety and quality management requirements.

Can I access Coldcubed remotely?

Yes. The platform is cloud-based, allowing authorised users to securely access live data, reports, alerts and historical records from desktop, tablet or mobile devices wherever they are.
