##### PROBLEM FOCUS

In West Africa, as well as across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the challenge of bringing agricultural and pharmaceutical products to their final customer via cold chain (temperature-controlled supply chains) leads to significant product and revenue loss.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Gricd (Gricd Integrated Services Limited) is a cold chain monitoring and logistics company based in Lagos, Nigeria. Gricd offers customers both a remote monitoring service for high-value agricultural products and pharmaceuticals, and a 'cold box' for modular transportation of cold chain goods on existing transportation infrastructure. Gricd is tackling this problem by using GSM networks to communicate crucial cold chain logistics information to buyers and sellers.
