*Unmanaged DIY figures reflect bare hardware without 8–12 hr blackout battery buffer, automated 4-year cell replenishment, or advance RMA cross-shipping.
Eliminate clipboard pencil-whipping and health inspection citations. Receive multi-tier emergency alerts that wake managers up before compressors ruin thousands in food inventory.
Continuous timestamped HACCP cold-holding logs recorded every 10 minutes. When a county health inspector walks into your kitchen unannounced, hand them a tablet or click export for a print-ready, formatted PDF audit sheet.
Push notifications on a phone get swiped away. ColdACT employs an intelligent escalation matrix: if an SMS text goes unacknowledged during a midnight condenser failure, our cloud places automated urgent voice calls to management until answered.
Receive automated Monday morning digests summarizing refrigeration efficiency, defrost cycle integrity, and cold-holding compliance across all storefronts. If a major disaster strikes, ColdACT’s certified logs provide the proof required by insurance adjusters.

The 4 Pillars of Zero-Maintenance
We handle battery procurement, RMA cross-shipping, and outage telemetry so your operators never touch a wire.
Every 48 months, fresh industrial 3.6V Li-SOCl2 cells and replacement gateway battery packs are shipped automatically to your door. No field testing required.
If a sensor or gateway encounters a defect, we cross-ship a replacement next business day. Zero waiting for bench approvals or technician truck rolls.
An inline mini-UPS keeps cellular telemetry live throughout overnight utility power cuts, logging core temperatures when competitors go dark.
You own your equipment outright from day one. No rigid 36-month non-cancellable leases, no proprietary vendor hardware lock-out.
