Engineering Real-Time Telematics & Proof-of-Delivery for Cold Chain Logistics
Business Challenge
Transporting high-value pharmaceuticals and temperature-sensitive biological reagents requires absolute compliance with temperature thresholds. The carrier faced frequent cargo damage disputes from consignees because paper temperature records and offline data loggers could only be analyzed hours or days after delivery.
Existing Operational Bottlenecks:
Our Engineering Approach
Mitraweb Consulting designed an end-to-end IoT telematics and driver mobility platform. We separated high-frequency telemetry ingestion from the core transactional dispatch database, ensuring sub-second response times even under millions of daily location and sensor data points.
Solution & Architecture
We deployed an MQTT ingestion pipeline connected to IoT temperature probes and GPS hardware, streaming into TimescaleDB. On the driver side, we built an offline-first React Native mobile application supporting digital signatures, cargo photo inspection, and automated dispatch check-ins.

Business Outcomes & Metrics
Key Engineering Learning
In logistics, operational simplicity is paramount. Drivers will only adopt mobile tools that are fast, operate seamlessly offline, and require minimal taps during pickup and drop-off.
