Since 2007, Controlant has been a global leader in transforming and protecting cold chains in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Controlant offers a powerful trifecta of automated chain monitoring solutions, delivered as a service (CHaaS), where customers pay only for the shipments or products they track. This includes an innovative combination of a location-aware intelligence cloud platform delivering prescriptive reporting, wireless and reusable internet of things (IoT) data loggers, and a variety of managed and professional services, including reverse device logistics and 24/7 monitoring and response, driving growth and profitability.
Controlant's solutions empower those responsible for cold chain performance to stay abreast of critical metrics and situations in real-time when their shipments or assets are in-transit, addressing problems quickly when they arise to proactively prevent damage or waste. Analytics provide customers with insights to fuel future decision-making and collaboration throughout their business ecosystem.

The need for safety and quality management
Acceleration of product entry and delivery is a challenge for businesses operating in the cold chain, and the increasing speed of product innovation required in today's global markets is staggering. Losses associated with temperature excursions in healthcare exceed $35 billion annually, including $15.2 billion in lost product costs, $8.6 billion in root cause analysis costs, $5.65 billion in clinical trial loss, $3.65 billion in replacement costs, and $1 billion in wasted logistics costs. The losses in global cold chains are increasing at an alarming rate, in a large part due to supply chain complexity and silos.
A service-based, fully validated solution
Our technology and service model differs from the rest of the market. Our solution is service and subscription-based, which enables our partners to efficiently and effectively set up, operate, and scale our visibility solution across their supply chain, and gain an immediate return on investment.
24/7, end-to-end cold chain visibility: The pharmaceutical industry has been plagued by the inefficiency of paper-based processes and highly reactive safety procedures. Controlant's cold chain monitoring solution automatically connects reusable data loggers with a private, centralised, SaaS platform for real-time visibility across the entire supply chain.
Temperature monitoring and quality notifications: The global pharmaceutical cold chain is expanding and medicines and vaccines are covering a greater distance between manufacturer, supplier, and pharmacies, hospitals, and health clinics. Using Controlant's temperature, humidity and light sensors, pharmaceutical companies can easily measure temperatures and set predetermined limits for different types of products or locations. When those products venture beyond those limits, Controlant's platform automatically pushes excursion and quality notifications to designated recipients, via the web platform, email, or SMS.
Proactive product movement monitoring: With increasing market demand and regulatory requirements looming, the need for a better understanding of product movement across the supply chain is driving traceability initiatives to the forefront for leading pharmaceutical companies. Pairing wireless IoT loggers with temperature, humidity, and light sensors, along with traceability data, enables pharmaceutical companies to pinpoint exactly where and when in the chain of custody a product goes out of temperature range.
Managed and professional services: With the increasing demand on pharmaceutical companies to reach large scale while decreasing costs, Controlant provides the opportunity to gain the outsourced expertise needed to immediately setup and operate. Our services include reverse device logistics and asset management, where our team will ensure your manufacturing sites, warehouses and distribution centres are sufficiently plenished with our reusable data loggers. Our 24/7 monitoring and response team is available around the clock to monitor shipments and intervene if boundaries are expanded.
Controlant's cloud platform can easily be integrated with existing enterprise applications or used as a standalone solution.
