Connected Operations & IoT · Asset Tracking & Cold Chain

Know where it is, what condition it’s in, and what happened on the way.

Asset-tracking and cold-chain monitoring that combines the right tracking technology for each route with condition sensing, exception alerts and audit-ready records integrated into your logistics systems.

Who it’s for

Built for the people accountable for the outcome.

Asset Tracking & Cold Chain is part of PEXIVA’s Connected Operations & IoT practice, which combines all six PEXIVA core capabilities.

Intended buyers

  • VP Supply Chain and Logistics
  • Quality and compliance leaders in food and pharmaceutical distribution
  • Fleet and equipment managers
  • Operations leaders managing high-value assets
Business problems

What this solves.

Assets that go missing

Containers, tools, carts and equipment are lost or idle without anyone knowing.

Excursions discovered too late

Temperature breaches are found at delivery, when nothing can be done.

Paper-based condition records

Proving storage conditions for audits relies on manual logs.

Tracking data in a vendor silo

Location data never reaches WMS, TMS or ERP.

Capabilities

Asset Tracking & Cold Chain — what’s included.

  • PEXIVA-deliveredPEXIVA practitioners own and perform the work.
  • PEXIVA-ledPEXIVA owns architecture, governance and delivery, with specialist contributors.
  • Partner-enabledA qualified specialist delivers a defined work package under PEXIVA program governance.

Delivery approach

Route-by-route design

  1. Profile

    Map assets, routes, environments and handoffs.

  2. Select

    Choose tracking and sensing per profile on cost, battery and coverage.

  3. Pilot

    Run a controlled lane or fleet segment with success criteria.

  4. Scale

    Extend lanes and integrate exceptions into daily operations.

Relevant use cases

Where this is typically applied.

Illustrative use cases — not descriptions of specific client deployments.

Temperature-controlled distribution

Continuous monitoring with excursion alerts in transit and storage.

Returnable asset tracking

Pallets, containers and carts located and cycle-counted.

Yard and dwell-time visibility

Trailers and equipment waiting times measured.

High-value equipment tracking

Location and utilization of tools or medical equipment.

Security considerations

Designed in, not bolted on.

  • Location data access is restricted by role and customer.
  • Tracker identities and connectivity credentials are managed per device.
  • Data retention follows contractual and regulatory requirements.

FAQ

Asset Tracking & Cold Chain — frequently asked questions

Which tracking technology is best?
It depends on the asset, route and environment. GPS with cellular suits long-haul; BLE or RFID suits indoor; LPWAN suits low-power, low-data assets. We compare options against cost, battery life and coverage.
Does your monitoring make us compliant with cold-chain regulations?
Monitoring supports compliance by providing reliable records and alerts. Validation and regulatory compliance remain the responsibility of the regulated organization; we design to support your quality process.
Do you supply trackers?
Hardware and connectivity are supplied by partners or your preferred vendors. PEXIVA specifies, integrates and manages the data and workflows.
Can alerts go to our carriers?
Yes, where agreed. Exception notifications can be routed to internal teams, carriers or customers based on rules.
