With summer now in full swing it is more important than ever to ensure coolrooms are running efficiently and to correct temperature.

Biodynamic Marketing Co, like most wholesale businesses in the market, relies on coolrooms working efficiently to prevent fresh produce from spoiling. “We know the coolrooms are on but in the past did not know if they were main-taining the correct temperature when we were not on site,” says Peter Podolinsky from Biodynamic Marketing Co.

Cooltrax technology came to the rescue with technology that monitors the temperature of coolrooms and the door status 24 hours a day. If the temperature falls out of the required range the system sends the recipient an email or text message warning them of the change.

Peter says the system paid for itself in the first week. “We installed Cooltrax in our ten coolrooms and it was lucky we did. If we had not received notification of an increase in temperature all the milk stored in the coolrooms would have been lost”.

One of the benefits that attracted Peter to the system is the ability to relocate hardware. “Installation is straightforward. There is no problem moving it from the current market to Epping or to any other coolroom site.”

“You can log in whenever and wherever you are and can see what the coolroom temperature is running at. You can print out reports in a number of formats as well which is great for Food Safety Standards. Overall it gives you complete peace of mind”.
