Summer is the season when temperature violations happen – right at the loading dock, in the first 60 seconds after delivery. Don't guess. Measure, document, done.
Ambient temperature
Outside temps above 30°C put pressure on every cold chain
Sore points
Loading docks are not refrigerated and every open door costs degrees
Responsibility
Warm goods accepted = your liability, your problem

A loading dock is a loading dock – but what happens next looks different in every operation. That's why Testo works for all of them.
Multiple deliveries per day, rotating staff, different temperature zones for fresh, chilled and frozen goods. In summer, every minute between truck and shelf counts. The testo 104-IR BT keeps every incoming check fast, accurate and consistent – regardless of who's on shift.
testo Smart App: Perfect for single-site operations or smaller retail formats. Staff measure with the testo 104-IR BT, results sync instantly via Bluetooth to the Smart App on their smartphone. Clear and easy exportable documentation! No training required, no paperwork left behind.
testo Saveris Food: For retail chains and multi-location operations, the Control Unit and testo Saveris Food bring everything together. Every goods receiving check across every store feeds into one central system. Managers get live oversight, automatic alerts and full documentation – without leaving the office.
Distribution centers are the critical hub of every cold chain – and in summer, they're also the biggest risk point. Goods arrive from multiple suppliers, move through different temperature zones and leave again within hours. Every handover moment is a potential gap.
testo Smart App: For smaller distribution operations or specific intake stations where a fast, mobile workflow is the priority. The testo 104-IR BT measures surface and core temperatures in seconds, results sync to the Smart App via Bluetooth and are documented before the next pallet arrives.
testo Saveris Food: For large-scale distribution centers handling high volumes across multiple docks and temperature zones. The Control Unit is stationed directly at intake points, guiding staff through standardised checklists for every incoming delivery. testo Saveris Food logs every check centrally – supplier, product category, temperature, responsible staff member – giving operations managers full traceability and instant alerts when something is out of range.
Handover moments are the highest-risk moments in summer. Whether at the depot, at a customer's dock or anywhere along the route – every transfer point is a potential break in the cold chain. Documentation at these moments isn't just good practice, it's proof of compliance.
testo Smart App: For drivers and logistics staff on the move. The testo 104-IR BT is compact, robust and pocket-ready. At every handover point, temperatures are measured and synced to the Smart App in seconds – a complete digital record tied to the delivery, without any paperwork.
testo Saveris Food: For logistics operations that need end-to-end traceability across multiple routes, depots and customers. Every check performed with the Control Unit feeds into testo Saveris Food – timestamped, location-tagged and linked to the specific delivery. When liability questions arise, the answer is already documented.
From the production floor to the restaurant kitchen – incoming goods mark the start of every food safety chain. In summer, raw materials, fresh produce and chilled deliveries are under pressure from the moment they leave the supplier. A temperature violation at intake can compromise everything that follows.
testo Smart App: For smaller production sites, independent restaurants and catering operations where a fast, mobile workflow is the priority. Staff use the testo 104-IR BT to check incoming goods and document results instantly via the Smart App – guided, digital and done before the next delivery arrives. No paperwork, no clipboards, no end-of-shift catch-up.
testo Saveris Food: For larger operations where intake checks must feed directly into the HACCP system. The Control Unit guides staff through fully customisable checklists at every intake point – whether on the production floor or at the kitchen back door. Every result is captured centrally in testo Saveris Food, every deviation is flagged immediately and every audit is covered without extra effort.
Testo Saveris Food is a full solution, it does not only covers incoming goods. Temperature monitoring of storing and display areas, critical control points in food processing and food preparation processes can all be implemented into the software and can be carried out using connected Testo devices.
