Our storyThe intelligence layer for global fresh produce
Escavox is the Cold Chain Intelligence Engine for fresh produce. We turn the journey of every shipment into commercial intelligence that protects shelf life, helping growers, exporters, importers and retailers know what happened, understand why, and predict what's next.
Why we built Escavox.
The problem was never measuring the temperature. It was what you do with what you learn.
Tracking food isn't new. Time-and-temperature clauses have sat in supply contracts for decades, alongside chilled warehouses and cold chains.
Our founders, Luke, Nici and Chris, had seen the problem from all three sides of the chain: as retailers, carriers and producers, because they'd worked inside each of them. When produce is lost, accountability falls to whoever can prove what happened, so the data became a shield, used defensively, after the fact, to settle claims.
The chains that work look different. Where partners align around shared, trusted data, above all shelf-life data, they waste less and deliver better. Producers see steadier demand and fewer rejections. Carriers get predictability. Retailers lose less. Everyone is more profitable.
The difference data makes.
Where shelf life is measured and shared, loss stays low. Where it isn't, produce pays the price, the same journey, a very different outcome.
Close that gap, give fresh produce the same class of data, and you change how fresh food moves through the world. That's the platform Escavox set out to build.
That vision hasn't changed since day one, only strengthened: Escavox as the data platform the whole fresh food industry can trust, one source of truth for everyone moving produce across the globe. Because people will always need to eat, and fresh food will always spoil.

Beyond monitoring.
Most systems record temperature and plot a route. We go further, converting the environment of every shipment into the answers you actually make decisions on.
Quantify shelf life
How much life a shipment gained or lost, modelled per commodity, not guessed.
Rank the risk
Every shipment ordered by commercial risk, worst-first, so you act on what matters.
Share the truth
One independent, verifiable source of intelligence every partner in the chain can trust.
Built for decisions, not dashboards.
Decision-first
We don't stop at charts and alerts. Every view ends in a recommended action, prioritise, divert, accept or reject.
Independent & verifiable
An impartial record every partner can rely on, protecting margin and relationships when it matters most.
Made for produce
Environmental science and physics modelled per commodity, because a grape, a mango and a side of beef don't behave the same.
We only have one planet
We're doing our part to look after our home. By protecting produce quality and designing inefficiency out of the cold chain, Escavox helps cut food waste and food miles.
Food waste
Roughly a third of all food produced is lost or wasted. Protecting quality in transit keeps more of it on the shelf and out of landfill.
Food miles
Food miles account for around 6% of all global emissions. Better routing and fewer failed loads mean less wasted transport.
Reusable devices
Our multi-use trackers return to the pool and are re-deployed journey after journey, keeping hardware working and plastic out of landfill.
Escavox is a proud sponsor of End Food Waste Australia and works with industry bodies and R&D programs, because only by learning together can we effect change.
Every load that arrives in spec is waste avoided
Supplying food at optimum quality is the key to reducing costs and eradicating waste. When produce is rejected or downgraded, the emissions of growing, packing and moving it are wasted too.
Cold Chain Intelligence pinpoints exactly where quality is being lost, so you fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
