Cold Chain

Cold Chain Management is the orchestration of every phase of a temperature-sensitive supply chain to ensure product efficacy, product safety, and adherence to regulatory requirements — from storage and handling to transportation and last-mile delivery. At YCH, cold chain goes beyond temperature control. We design, integrate, and govern end-to-end cold chain ecosystems that deliver visibility, resilience, and accountability at every touchpoint. Across food, healthcare, and chemical supply chains, we manage multi-temperature environments — frozen and chilled — ensuring products remain within specification throughout their journey.

YCH Cold Chain Solutions

Cold chain failures are irreversible. Temperature excursions, power disruptions, regulatory non-compliance, or lack of visibility can compromise product integrity and customer trust within minutes.

YCH mitigates these risks through a tightly governed operating model that integrates:

  • Purpose-built cold chain infrastructure
  • Live temperature monitoring and real-time alerts
  • Regulatory-aligned SOPs and quality assurance
  • Business continuity planning and contingency readiness

By integrating the entire cold chain — rather than managing it in silos — we give customers confidence that their most sensitive products are protected, monitored, and compliant at all times.

Key Cold Chain Capabilities

  • Multi-temperature warehousing (Frozen, Chilled)
  • Live temperature monitoring, alerts & control tower visibility
  • Regulatory-compliant handling, documentation & audit readiness
  • Temperature mapping, calibration & equipment maintenance
  • Cold chain transportation & last-mile delivery
  • Returns management & reverse logistics
  • Business continuity & emergency response planning

Cold Chain Case Study: Nationwide Vaccination Programme

Challenge

A nationwide vaccination programme required the secure storage, handling, and island-wide distribution of temperature-sensitive vaccines across hundreds of fixed and mobile sites. The operation demanded zero tolerance for temperature deviation, strict regulatory oversight, real-time visibility, and the ability to scale rapidly under national urgency.

YCH Solution

YCH designed and managed the entire cold chain ecosystem:

  • Multi-temperature storage maintained at 2–8°C with pharmacist-led quality assurance
  • Live temperature monitoring across storage and transportation, supported by real-time alerts
  • Centralised command through a digital control tower for visibility and intervention
  • Coordinated last-mile delivery to mobile and fixed vaccination sites
  • Returns management for vaccines and ancillary medical supplies

This integrated approach ensured seamless coordination across infrastructure, technology, manpower, and governance.

Outcome

  • Ensuring the safe storage and distribution of vaccines across the country every year
  • Zero compromise on temperature integrity and regulatory compliance
  • Real-time visibility and rapid response to potential risks
  • A resilient, scalable cold chain supporting a critical national healthcare mission
