Cold-chain add-ons
The monthly per-sensor price is published. Hardware and install are quoted per site — where a price is not sourced, the cell reads —, never a guess.

|---|---|---|
| Probes and sensors | — | Hardware is quoted per site; see the hardware page for the four device families† |
| NB-IoT data SIM | — | Required for a standalone sensor with no site gateway† |
| Site gateway (LoRa) | — | One gateway can serve several chambers at one site† |
| Solar option | — | For sites where mains is unreliable; sensors already hold roughly 14 days on battery† |
| Install and commissioning | — | Survey, placement, provisioning, thresholds, and handover training† |
| 30 s logging for vaccine chambers | included | Set at provisioning on Standard and Enterprise |
| Extra alert recipients | included | Any number of named recipients per sensor |

The monthly per-sensor price is published. Hardware and install are quoted per site, because the answer depends on how many chambers you have and how they connect. Ask and we will scope it.
Cells marked — are not published — hardware, SIMs, gateways and install are quoted per site. No figure is invented for them here. The published monthly subscription is the only price stated on this page.

Frequently asked questions
How much does cold-chain monitoring cost per month?
Cold-chain Standard is TZS 35,000 per sensor per month for up to 25 sensors; one chamber counts as one sensor.
What counts as a sensor?
One monitored chamber — a refrigerator, a cold room, a freezer, or a chilled tank — is one sensor.
What happens above 25 sensors?
The account moves to Cold-chain Enterprise, which is scoped and quoted rather than listed; we will not publish a number we have not quoted you.
Is the hardware included in the monthly price?
No; the monthly figure is the subscription. Probes, SIMs, gateways, and install are quoted per site.
How can I pay?
M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, bank transfer, or card, invoiced in TZS with a VAT invoice.
Is there a minimum contract or a trial?
Contract length and trial terms are confirmed in your quote — ask and we will put it in writing rather than have you read it off a page.
What happens if a probe fails?
Replacement and warranty terms are confirmed in the quote against the specific device supplied; the reading archive and reports for that sensor are unaffected.
