Real-Time Monitoring in Four Simple Steps

prooftracker_on_apples

Activate

Peel, stick, and go. Attach the logger inside your packaging, pallet, or container using the built-in 3M adhesive pad or cable tie points. A single button press activates the device and registers it to your cloud account. No software installation required.

Transparent Path temperature recorders for shipping with GPS show the travel path on the map with measured data at each point.

Ship

The logger travels with your shipment through every leg of the journey — truck, port, aircraft, warehouse, and final mile. It continuously measures temperature, humidity, shock, light, and GPS location, recording up to 25,000 data points and transmitting updates to the cloud at your chosen interval (as often as every 5 minutes).

Who Uses Transparent Path Data Loggers?

🥦🥦 Fresh Produce & Horticulture Export

Temperature excursions are the single largest cause of produce rejection at destination ports. A single pallet of mangoes, berries, or cut flowers that arrives outside its safe temperature range can result in the entire consignment being condemned — and you holding the liability. Transparent Path loggers provide an unbroken, timestamped temperature record from pack shed to delivery that satisfies buyer requirements, DAFF import/export conditions, and retail chain compliance audits. When things do go wrong, you have the data to demonstrate exactly where in the cold chain the failure occurred — and who is responsible.

💊💊 Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences

GDP (Good Distribution Practice) and TGA compliance require documented evidence that medicines, biologics, and diagnostics have been stored and transported within their labelled conditions throughout the supply chain. Transparent Path loggers generate the audit-ready excursion reports, chain-of-custody documentation, and real-time exception alerts that your quality team and regulatory auditors require. With ISO 17025 calibration certificates and platform security certified to ISO 27001:2022, these loggers are built for the scrutiny that pharmaceutical logistics demands.

🎨🎨 Fine Art, Antiques & High-Value Collectibles

A humidity spike, a sharp impact, or even brief exposure to sunlight during transit can cause irreversible damage to paintings, sculptures, antique furniture, and fragile collectibles — damage that may not be visible until months later. Transparent Path loggers provide the objective, irrefutable condition record that art shippers, insurers, and auction houses increasingly require as standard. The light sensor is especially valuable for sealed crate shipments, as it detects any unauthorised opening and provides tamper evidence for high-value consignments.

📦📦 High-Value E-Commerce & Retail

Package theft and handling damage are two of the fastest-growing cost lines for premium e-commerce retailers. The light sensor inside every Transparent Path logger detects the moment a sealed package is opened — creating a timestamped tamper record that can be used to substantiate insurance claims, identify serial theft events in a carrier network, and exonerate retailers in false damage disputes with customers. Knowing that a shipment was opened and resealed before delivery changes the conversation entirely.

🚢🚢 3PL, Freight Forwarders & Carriers

Your clients are increasingly demanding real-time visibility and condition monitoring as standard — not as a premium add-on. Transparent Path loggers let you offer verified shipment condition data as part of your service, differentiating your business from competitors who still rely on passive temperature strips or post-trip USB loggers. The platform's analytics tools let you benchmark carrier performance, identify recurring excursion hotspots on your routes, and demonstrate continuous improvement to key accounts.

🌡🌡 Cold Chain Logistics & Food Service Distribution

Supermarkets, hospitality groups, and foodservice distributors operate under strict food safety legislation that requires documented temperature monitoring throughout the supply chain. Transparent Path loggers create the automated, tamper-evident temperature record required under HACCP plans and food safety programs — without the manual data entry, lost paperwork, and compliance gaps that come with traditional chart recorders or USB loggers downloaded at delivery.

What Makes Transparent Path Different?

Five Sensors in One Device

Most shipment loggers measure only temperature. Transparent Path loggers simultaneously record temperature, relative humidity, tri-axial shock and impact, ambient light exposure, and GPS location — giving you a complete picture of everything your shipment experienced in transit, not just whether it stayed cold.

Genuine Real-Time Alerts

Unlike loggers that store data locally and only reveal what happened after the shipment arrives, Transparent Path transmits live data via global LTE cellular networks throughout the journey. Set custom alert thresholds for each parameter and receive instant email, SMS, or app notifications the moment a threshold is breached — while you still have time to intervene.

Global Coverage — Air, Sea, Road & Rail

The loggers connect automatically to the strongest available network — LTE-M cellular, Wi-Fi geolocation, or satellite GPS — switching seamlessly between them as the shipment moves through ports, warehouses, aircraft, and distribution centres. With coverage across 170+ countries and compliance for use on 170+ airlines, one logger goes everywhere your freight goes.

Tamper & Theft Detection via Light Sensor

The built-in light sensor detects the moment a sealed package, crate, or container is opened — and logs the exact time, location, and duration of the light exposure event. This creates an objective tamper record that can be used as evidence in insurance claims, carrier disputes, and theft investigations. For high-value shipments, this single feature can pay for the logger many times over.

NIST Calibration & ISO 17025 Traceability

All temperature measurements are traceable to NIST standards via a 3-point factory calibration, with accuracy of ±0.5°C and drift of less than 0.01°C per year. Calibration certificates are available on request. This level of metrological traceability meets the requirements of pharmaceutical GDP, food safety programs, and regulatory audit documentation.

IP67 Waterproof & Rugged Construction

Built from UL 94-V0 flame-retardant plastic, each logger is rated IP67 — fully sealed against dust ingress and submersible in water up to one metre for 30 minutes. The compact 97 × 58 × 21 mm form factor fits inside almost any packaging configuration, and the 3M adhesive backing and cable tie mount points make placement fast and secure.

Cloud Platform — Analytics, Reports & API

Every logger connects to a purpose-built cloud platform with a live shipment map, condition timeline, excursion history, and carrier performance analytics. PDF condition reports are generated automatically at the end of each shipment. For enterprise customers, an API allows integration with existing TMS, ERP, and quality management systems — turning shipment condition data into a live operational feed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a real-time shipment data logger measure?

A Transparent Path real-time shipment data logger measures five parameters simultaneously: temperature (–30°C to +60°C), relative humidity, tri-axial shock and impact (G-force), ambient light exposure, and GPS location. All five data streams are transmitted live to a cloud dashboard throughout the entire shipment journey, and a complete condition report is generated automatically on delivery.

What is the difference between the Tive Solo 5G and the ProofTracker?

The Tive Solo 5G is designed for single-use deployment — you activate it, ship it with your goods, and dispose of it at the destination without needing to recover or recharge it. The ProofTracker is rechargeable and can be used for multiple shipments, making it more economical for high-frequency, round-trip routes. The key technical difference is the battery: the Tive Solo 5G uses a lithium-ion battery, while the ProofTracker uses a non-lithium battery — making the ProofTracker unrestricted for all air freight, including cargo holds where lithium battery limits apply.

Can I use these loggers on air freight?

Yes. Both loggers are compliant for use on commercial aircraft. The Tive Solo 5G has passed RTCA DO-160G testing and is approved for use with over 170 airlines worldwide. The ProofTracker uses a non-lithium battery, which means it faces no IATA lithium battery quantity restrictions and is suitable for all air freight routes without additional documentation. Both devices enter low-power flight mode automatically and resume transmission on landing.

How does the light sensor detect theft or tampering?

The light sensor inside each logger continuously monitors for changes in ambient light levels. When a logger is placed inside a sealed package, crate, or container, it registers a dark environment. If the package is opened — even briefly — the sensor records a sudden increase in light, and the exact time, GPS location, and duration of the event is logged and transmitted to the cloud platform. This creates an objective, timestamped tamper record that can be used as evidence in insurance claims, carrier investigations, or customer disputes.

How accurate is the GPS location?

Location accuracy varies by the positioning method available. When satellite or GPS signal is available, accuracy is within 20 metres. In urban environments or indoors where Wi-Fi access points are available, Wi-Fi geolocation provides accuracy within 100 metres. In areas with cellular network coverage only, triangulation accuracy is within approximately 500 metres. The logger automatically uses the most accurate method available and records which positioning method was used for each data point.

Are these loggers NIST calibrated?

Yes. Both the Tive Solo 5G and ProofTracker temperature sensors are factory-calibrated at three points against NIST-traceable standards under ISO 17025, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C and a drift specification of less than 0.01°C per year. Calibration certificates are available on request. This calibration standard meets the documentation requirements for pharmaceutical Good Distribution Practice (GDP), HACCP food safety programs, and most regulatory audit frameworks.

How long does the battery last?

The Tive Solo 5G has an active battery life of 60+ days at a 60-minute reporting interval, and a shelf life of 180 days from activation. The ProofTracker provides 30+ days of active monitoring per charge cycle, depending on reporting frequency and environmental conditions. For short shipments where you want more frequent updates, both devices can be configured to report as often as every 5 minutes, which will reduce battery life proportionally.

Can I receive real-time alerts if temperature goes out of range?

Yes. Custom alert thresholds can be configured for all five monitored parameters — temperature, humidity, shock, light, and location (geofencing). When any reading breaches your set threshold, the platform immediately sends notifications via email, SMS, or push notification to the mobile app, depending on your preference. For time-sensitive shipments such as vaccines or fresh seafood, this real-time alerting capability can mean the difference between a recoverable excursion and a total loss.

Are these loggers suitable for pharmaceutical or GxP-regulated shipments?

Yes. Both loggers are used in pharmaceutical supply chains globally. The platform is certified to ISO 27001:2022 for information security, temperature measurements are NIST calibrated under ISO 17025, and the cloud platform generates the excursion reports, audit trails, and chain-of-custody records required by GDP guidelines and TGA import/export requirements. For full GDP validation packages or specific regulatory documentation requirements, please contact our team.

What happens to the data if cellular coverage drops during the shipment?

The logger stores up to 25,000 data records internally, so no data is lost if the device moves through an area without cellular coverage — such as a ship’s cargo hold at sea, a remote road freight route, or a cold storage facility with poor signal. As soon as connectivity is restored, the logger transmits all buffered data points to the cloud platform, filling in the complete timeline. The platform clearly indicates which data points were transmitted live and which were buffered and uploaded on reconnection
