Impact Summary:

Preventing $200,000 in Losses with Instant Alerts and Easy Compliance
Key Details:
The Challenge:

Eventide was relying on manual logs to track refrigerator and freezer temperatures where food and sensitive medications were stored. Compliance and safety were constant concerns, and weekend checks were inconsistent and time-consuming.

The Solution:

TempLink deployed sensors in key refrigeration units, including med storage, dietary kitchens, and cold food prep. The team worked directly with Eventide to create a custom dashboard with alerts configured for state and healthcare compliance.

How TempLink Produced Results

24/7 visibility across multiple school kitchens
Real-time alerts led to food rescue during outages
Reduced compliance workload by 80%

“Our school district was looking for something to replace the old paper temperature logs on our refrigeration equipment so we could save on staff labor while improving the accuracy and reliability of the recordings. The temperature monitoring system from TempLink has helped us to maintain our refrigeration equipment at 22 kitchen sites within the food service department. The ability to view live temperature recordings online and review past recordings has been helpful in identifying equipment problems.”

“We especially like the ability to customize the contact names for alert messages on each piece of equipment, and to select to receive emails or text messages for the alerts. This keeps the building staff informed and has been streamlined so that on-call maintenance staff will be notified and can address any issues after hours. Having all of our refrigeration equipment monitored 24/7 has given us the peace of mind so we can prevent the loss of food product or spoilage due to equipment failures.”
