The opportunity

This is a real-time IoT-enabled SaaS platform. It tracks temperature, humidity, and location for perishables. Designed for African exporters navigating volatile supply chains. Before, exporters lost margins to unpredictable spoilage and dead zones. After, they gain precise audit trails and insurance-ready data. Confidence replaces the constant dread of shipment rejection.

The problem it solves

POWER INSTABILITY Frequent grid failure ruins temperature control during transit. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY Middlemen hide spoilage data, causing massive financial losses. EXPORT COMPLIANCE Global buyers reject shipments lacking verified temp logs. LOGISTICS FRAGMENTATION Disconnected fleet data makes route optimization nearly impossible.

How to build it

Map sensor data flows using [Node-RED](https://nodered.org). Integrate cellular IoT gateways for real-time reporting. Deploy the dashboard via [FlutterFlow](https://flutterflow.io). Automate compliance reporting using [Airtable](https://airtable.com).
