Powerfleet recently was rated as the No. 1 global leader in cold chain monitoring solutions, according to a competitive ranking assessment by intelligence firm ABI Research.
The ABI study assessed nine cold chain software vendors to provide an independent third-party ranking that considered key trends in the market, including the growing demand for real-time monitoring, adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced sensors, as well as other advanced analytics and regulatory compliance.
With cold chain logistics involving unique complexities and challenges that extend beyond standard logistics operations, success hinges on meticulous management, maximum control, and real-time temperature and humidity monitoring. From starting point to destination, Powerfleet addresses these intricacies, creating a comprehensive cold chain offering by integrating IoT tracking devices, refrigeration units, and environmental sensors into one purpose-built smart trailer solution.
“With Powerfleet’s commitment to delivering innovative cold chain solutions, we’re happy to recognize them as the overall leader,” Adhish Luitel, ABI principal analyst, said in a news release. “Their groundbreaking innovations, coupled with robust implementation strategies, have allowed its Unity platform to be implemented across a wide range of cold chain fleets, driving our industry forward and improving customer experiences.”
Samsara and Motive followed close behind Powerfleet in the rankings. Samsara ranked first for innovation criteria due to the comprehensiveness of its Connected Operations Platform, which is designed with an intuitive interface and comprehensive support resources. Similarly, Motive came second in innovation due to its breadth of solutions. Its reefer monitoring solution integrates the management of reefer trailers into one operation platform, with support for both Thermo King and Carrier (in beta phase) reefers.
ABI also ranked Orbcomm, Webfleet, CalAmp, RoamBee, Cooltrax, and InHand Networks.
“The analysis focused on 12 criteria segmented across innovation and implementation,” Luitel explained. “The innovation criteria included solution option, user experience, use cases, features, quality of reporting and analytics, use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and other innovative platform features.
“The implementation criteria included market share, geographical and vertical reach, solution adaptability, go-to-market strategy, integration with existing systems, and time to value.”
