Test every platform against them. Quick answer Cold-chain operators protect temperature-sensitive goods and must evidence conditions and expiry. In Bahrain, cold chain typically need: temperature-controlled storage, monitoring and alerts, expiry and fefo, delivery with conditions. Sensor integration and batch control are priorities. - Temperature gaps - Expiry losses - Manual log keeping - Key records: storage zones, batches and expiry, temperature readings Choosing software for cold chain?

Workflows ## Five Workflows for Cold Chain Use this list to test any platform with your own examples. **Cold Chain: workflows an ERP should support** | Workflow | What it covers | Question to ask a vendor | | Temperature-controlled storage | Assign goods to controlled zones | How does the system handle temperature-controlled storage for our business? | | Monitoring and alerts | Record temperatures and raise alerts | How does the system handle monitoring and alerts for our business? | | Expiry and FEFO | Issue the earliest expiry first | How does the system handle expiry and fefo for our business? | | Delivery with conditions | Track vehicle temperature to delivery | How does the system handle delivery with conditions for our business? | | Records for review | Keep logs available for audits | How does the system handle records for review for our business? | Context ## What Sits Behind the Workflows Data objects involved: Storage zones, Batches and expiry, Temperature readings, Vehicles. Typical integrations: Temperature sensors, Fleet tracking, Barcode scanning, Accounting. - Temperature gaps - Expiry losses - Manual log keeping Processes ## Core Processes for Cold Chain **Cold Chain: core processes** | Process | What the system should do | | Temperature-controlled storage | Assign goods to controlled zones | | Monitoring and alerts | Record temperatures and raise alerts | | Expiry and FEFO | Issue the earliest expiry first | | Delivery with conditions | Track vehicle temperature to delivery | | Records for review | Keep logs available for audits | Data and Systems ## What Cold Chain Need to Plan For Sensor integration and batch control are priorities. ### Records to prepare - Storage zones - Batches and expiry - Temperature readings - Vehicles ### Systems to connect - Temperature sensors - Fleet tracking - Barcode scanning - Accounting ### Problems we aim to remove - Temperature gaps - Expiry losses - Manual log keeping Results ## How Success Is Measured We agree measures with you at scoping and compare against your own baseline. We do not publish invented benchmarks. **Success measures** | Measure | How to read it | | Adoption | Share of target users working in the system weekly, compared with your starting point. | | Cycle time | Time from enquiry to quote, order to invoice, or request to approval, measured before and after. | | Data quality | Duplicate, missing or mismatched records found in review samples. | | Reporting effort | Hours spent producing month-end and management reports. | | Control | Approvals, audit trail and access reviews that are in place and being used. | FAQ ## Cold Chain Questions - Is this guidance specific to cold chain?
