Our Story

In 2015, Polio and Pentavalent vaccine worth more than Rs. 400 Million was spoiled due to temperature excursion of the storage unit while no alarm generated. This made up national news headlines and also caught our attention. FIA investigation revealed that the vaccine was not expired but spoiled because the correct temperature could not be maintained in the store room. We further did an extensive outreach into various hospitals, pharmacies and blood banks and found out that there was no effective mechanism for temperature monitoring of vaccines, drugs and blood storage in Pakistan. As per common practice, temperature is recorded manually twice or thrice a day on paper-based logs while there is no system in place for generating alerts in case of temperature excursions. Healthcare supply chain is also fragmented, and lacks end-to-end cold chain visibility through factory, distribution, transportation channels and retail stores. To address this grave issue our company indigenously developed an internet of things (IoT)-based real-time environment monitoring system. The system senses temperatures continuously, saves temperature data online and generates alerts when the cold chain breaks.

                   Vision

By providing cold chain intelligence solutions, NewVative aims to protect sensitive products and improve cold supply chain efficiency, for healthcare, food and other industries.”
