In the mid-2000s, our founder Mark Hogan, was working in cold chain software when McDonald's began requiring continuous temperature monitoring during delivery. The tools available then — hard-wired "chisel probes" — were expensive, broke constantly, and produced wildly inconsistent data.

That problem led to Lettuce Box (2011) and the TIC Box, a device engineered to physically mimic how food warms and cools. Years of field validation became the foundation for veroFresh, launched as software in 2017.

Today, veroFresh™ has evolved into a cold chain intelligence platform built specifically for complex foodservice distribution. By combining product-specific temperature intelligence with real-time telematics data, we give distribution teams a clearer picture of what’s happening across every route, stop, and delivery — without relying on physical product probes.

What started as a better way to understand product temperature has grown into a platform supporting foodservice distribution networks around the world. We continue to build around the same idea that started it all: Turn complex cold chain data into reliable, actionable intelligence that helps protect food quality, reduce risk, strengthen compliance, simplify audits, and improve operations.
