Cold Chain Intelligence

A routing and chain-of-custody layer for cold-storage logistics operators, running on the same 2G rail as the farm advisory.

Stage: pilot, in discussion. This is in active pilot discussions with an East African logistics and cold-storage operator. Nothing is signed and nothing is deployed. Everything below describes the system's design intent, not a live or integrated result.

The Design

Fuel-optimised routing

Collector routes planned to minimise fuel and time across dispersed smallholder pickups — the difference between a viable cold chain and spoilage.

USSD-witnessed dual custody

At the farm gate, farmer and driver each confirm the same handoff over a 2G shortcode — cross-verified and timestamped, so custody is witnessed by both parties, not asserted by one.

A bankable harvest ledger

Multi-season pickup records from feature phones build a smallholder's first bankable credit history — production data that has never existed in a form capital markets can use.

Screen recording USSD custody handoff

USSD-witnessed handoff — recording to be embedded.

Cold Chain Intelligence

Operating a cold chain in East Africa?

We're looking for pilot partners to move this from design to deployment. If custody, routing, and smallholder credit history are your problem, let's talk.
