Introduction

Challenge

A leading national dairy supplier was struggling with significant product spoilage during last-mile deliveries. Despite investing in insulated packaging, the company continued to face rising losses from temperature excursions and delayed deliveries—costing them millions annually.

Challenge

Dairy products are highly perishable and must be kept within strict temperature ranges throughout their journey. The company’s existing logistics system lacked real-time visibility and relied on manual logs that couldn’t prevent or predict issues. As a result, they were averaging $2 million in annual losses due to spoilage and customer churn.
