A reliable way to **keep cold chain temperature logs for deliveries** is to record temperature readings at defined points — loading, during the route, at delivery — on each trip, flag readings outside the allowed range and record the corrective action taken.

In **Jestor**, readings are linked to the vehicle, trip and shipment, building a complete cold chain record.

## Why do cold chain records matter?

Food, pharmaceuticals and other sensitive products must stay within a temperature range. Customers and regulators may ask for proof.

Paper logs filled in at the end of the day are unreliable and hard to search when a question arises.

## What problems do digital temperature logs solve?

- Missing or incomplete readings
- Out-of-range temperatures not acted on
- No proof for customers or audits
- Logs lost or filled in after the fact
- No link between readings and shipments

## How do I keep temperature logs in Jestor?

1. **Create a readings form** with trip, vehicle, time, temperature and photo of the display.
2. **Define the allowed range** per product type.
3. **Highlight out-of-range readings** with conditional colors.
4. **Create a corrective action** when a reading is outside the range.
5. **Link readings** to shipments for customer reports.

| Reading point | Purpose                         |
| ------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Loading       | Confirm starting temperature    |
| During route  | Monitor the vehicle             |
| Delivery      | Confirm temperature at handover |
| Out of range  | Record corrective action        |

## What about automatic temperature sensors?

If your vehicles have sensors, their data can be sent to Jestor through the open **API** or webhooks.

Manual readings can complement sensor data at key points such as delivery.

## Why use Jestor for cold chain logs?

- **Mobile readings**: drivers record temperatures with photos.
- **Range alerts**: out-of-range readings highlighted.
- **Corrective actions**: tracked until closed.
- **Integrations**: sensor data received through API or webhooks.

Customer reports become easier as well. Filtering readings by shipment produces the evidence customers request without searching through paper logs.

Product types may need different ranges. Recording the allowed range on each shipment ensures the driver compares readings with the right limits, even when the vehicle carries mixed loads.

This is how you keep cold chain temperature logs for deliveries with reliable records.
