Reefer Van Network To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: This launch marks a major step forward in RVN's mission to modernize cold chain logistics. The new portal is designed for speed, ease of use, and accessibility, empowering users to secure the right-sized equipment without waiting for callbacks, wading through quotes, or dealing with unreliable carriers. For businesses moving time and temperature-sensitive freight, RVN now offers a simple way to move faster and smarter. According to Alex Winston, Founder of RVN, "Businesses need fast, easy access to shipping solutions that get their freight picked up on demand, and delivered on time and on temp. Our portal gives them exactly that. It's one more step toward our goal of making cold chain freight more responsive, transparent, and dependable." RVN's platform addresses long-standing inefficiencies in the cold chain. Traditional LTL options are often too slow, unreliable, or simply unavailable when needed most. Full truckload solutions, while faster, tend to be oversized and expensive for smaller, temperature-sensitive loads. Meanwhile, the market has lacked a 24/7 on-demand solution for small refrigerated vehicles—until now. By connecting users directly to the largest network of refrigerated cargo vans and box trucks in the U.S., RVN allows businesses to move with confidence and control. The portal includes real-time shipment visibility, proactive updates, and always-on customer support, delivering the transparency and responsiveness customers need. "This isn't just a booking tool—it's a gateway to a better shipping experience," Winston added. "When timing and temperature matter most, RVN delivers."

Geotab Unveils Advanced Cold Chain Solution with New Hardware and Enhanced Software
New hardware and advanced software features provide visibility and control for temperature-sensitive logistics, addressing significant supply chain losses Refrigerated Semi Trailer SINGAPORE, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In Southeast Asia, where up to 90% of food loss occurs during transportation due to poor cold chain infrastructure, tackling waste within the temperature-controlled supply chain is critical. Geotab Inc. ("Geotab"), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset solutions, today announced a significant upgrade to its cold chain solution, featuring new hardware and enhanced software capabilities designed to provide businesses with more visibility, control, and compliance assurance for their temperature-sensitive shipments. Geotab's enhanced cold chain solution addresses the evolving market need – driven by stricter regulations and higher customer expectations – for more comprehensive, simple, and granular temperature monitoring. The relaunch introduces the advanced IOX-COLD (in-cabin) and IOX-COLD RUGGED (IP67-rated for external mounting) hardware devices. These devices offer deeper, direct integration with refrigeration units from major OEMs, simplifying installation, improving data accuracy, and reducing potential points of failure compared to solutions requiring multiple sensors. Complementing the new hardware are several changes within the MyGeotab platform to further streamline processes: Near Real-Time Monitoring: Gain an up-to-the-minute view of cargo conditions for proactive decision-making. Multi-Zone Temperature Support: Ensure the integrity of multi-temperature loads with monitoring for each zone directly from the refrigeration unit – often eliminating the need for extra sensors. Advanced Alerts & Remote Commands: Set custom temperature alerts and utilise remote command capabilities (for supported units) to take immediate corrective action. Dynamic Historical Data: Analyse past shipment performance through interactive graphs, grids, and maps to identify trends and optimise logistics. Improved Installation Process: An updated MyInstall tool streamlines the configuration and verification process. "The impact of inadequate cold chain management is felt across industries, especially in regions where long distances, fragmented infrastructure and climate extremes challenge food and pharmaceutical logistics," said David Brown, AVP APAC at Geotab. "Our cold chain solution is designed to give businesses in Asia Pacific the visibility and assurance they need to protect temperature-sensitive goods, streamline compliance, and operate more sustainably. It's about making smarter, data-driven decisions that improve outcomes every step of the way." The integrated hardware and software solution supports businesses across various sectors, including food and beverage, to mitigate the risks of spoilage, help meet regulatory compliance, protect brand reputation, and gain peace of mind.

Nordic Cold Chain launches cold chain packaging for GLP-1 drugs
Temperature-controlled packaging solutions provider Nordic Cold Chain Solutions has introduced what it claims to be the first cold chain packaging solution tailored for transporting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications. The company noted that the GLP-1 drugs necessitate consistent temperature regulation during transit to preserve their therapeutic effectiveness and adhere to regulatory standards. The solution, dubbed the Nordic Express Pack, is designed specifically for this purpose, providing a dependable and user-friendly packing option to assist speciality pharmacies and healthcare distributors in managing increasing demand. Featuring a compact, space-efficient design, the Nordic Express Pack minimises storage requirements and enables swift operational expansion as demand rises. The packaging is engineered to enhance efficiency for both incoming and outgoing freight, reducing shipping costs while meeting stringent quality standards. Incorporated temperature indicators offer visual confirmation of any temperature deviations through colour changes. The solution has undergone testing in International Safe Transit Association-certified laboratories, demonstrating its performance in extreme seasonal conditions. Nordic Cold Chain Solutions CCO Keith Baechle said: 'Nordic has always been built on a customer-first foundation, focused on truly understanding our partners' needs and the demands of the marketplace. 'We built the Nordic Express Pack to solve the real-world challenges of GLP-1 shipping. While there are plenty of generic cold chain mailers available, none have been specifically designed and tested for shipping GLP-1 therapies. 'With this launch, we're delivering a faster-to-pack, easier-to-store solution that protects these critical medications without driving up costs." Nordic Cold Chain offers a range of products and services to clients in the cold chain industry. In October 2024, the company successfully acquired Minus Works, a US-based manufacturing company focused on developing sustainable cold chain packaging and shipping products. "Nordic Cold Chain launches cold chain packaging for GLP-1 drugs" was originally created and published by Packaging Gateway, a GlobalData owned brand.
