OUR STORY

Built to make the invisible visible

For more than two decades, Coldcubed has combined food science, practical cold chain expertise and purpose-built technology to help businesses understand, monitor and improve temperature performance across their operations.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

It started with one simple question.

How do we show people something that's invisible?

That question became the foundation of Coldcubed.

After decades working in fresh produce, retail and cold chain management, Malcolm Dodd and Johan Ferreira had seen the same problem repeatedly. Temperature failures were costing businesses millions, yet the real causes often remained hidden.

Cold chain wasn't just about refrigeration, it was about product quality, food waste, customer experience and profitability.
They believed businesses needed more than temperature data.
They needed visibility.

How do we actually show people something that's invisible? How do we make it come alive?
