Kelsius CoolTrak365

Kelsius CoolTrak365 is a paperless wireless temperature-monitoring system for cold-chain traceability, including healthcare products moving from production to prescription. It provides continuous monitoring and real-time excursion alerts to show conditions across the chain of custody. A device can monitor up to two fridges, freezers, or ambient areas. It records readings every five minutes, transmits every 30 minutes, and stores up to 2,880 readings locally, described as 10 days at five-minute intervals. Connectivity uses NB-IoT/LTE-M, and alerts can be sent by email, SMS, app notification, local sounder, or LED flasher; SMS incurs an additional charge. A matching web portal provides data and settings. Kelsius says records are tamperproof and customer data is encrypted, processed and stored in the EU, and retained for more than 30 years. The portal uses multifactor authentication, roles, permissions, and an audit trail. The system supports GxP standards, including HPRA and MHRA guidelines, and integrates with CoolCheck. Pricing is available on request.

CoolTrak365 combines continuous monitoring, multiple alert channels, and records for cold-chain oversight. Buyers should confirm pricing and whether the additional-charge SMS option is needed.

It is intended for healthcare and cold-chain operations such as pharmacies, laboratories, medical logistics, nursing homes, vaccination clinics, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. It may suit teams that need temperature alerts and an audit trail for monitored storage.

Overview

Kelsius CoolTrak365 is a wireless temperature-monitoring system for healthcare cold chains, tracking medicines and medical products from production to prescription. It is best suited to healthcare organisations that need continuous oversight and traceable compliance records. Its mix of excursion alerts and audit-focused reporting is persuasive, although each device covers at most two areas and SMS alerts cost extra.

Key features

Each device can monitor up to two separate fridges, freezers or ambient areas. It records a reading every five minutes, transmits data every 30 minutes and stores up to 2,880 readings locally—described as 10 days of readings at five-minute intervals. That buffer offers a finite local record if transmission is interrupted; sites with more storage areas may need multiple devices. NB-IoT/LTE-M connectivity sends data directly to the cloud, and each installation has a matching website portal for data and settings.

When temperatures move outside acceptable limits, alerts can arrive by email, Kelsius app push notification, local sounder or LED flasher. SMS is also supported, but as an additional-charge option. The combination of remote notifications and on-site alarms gives teams different ways to respond; organisations that require text alerts should account for the added cost.

CoolTrak365 generates tamperproof temperature and location records, aggregates data and automates reporting to support audits and inspections. Kelsius says the system supports GxP standards, including HPRA and MHRA guidelines, and complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. These capabilities make the product relevant to regulated healthcare operations, but they do not remove the need to assess whether its monitoring setup fits each site's compliance process.

Kelsius says customer data is processed and stored in the EU, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained for more than 30 years. Its portal uses multifactor authentication, roles and permissions, and a complete audit trail. CoolTrak365 data can also appear alongside CoolCheck stationary monitoring data in the same portal, which may help organisations using both systems maintain a consolidated view.

Pricing

CoolTrak365 is paid, with custom pricing. Buyers should request a quote and clarify the cost of the installation they need, including whether SMS alerts are part of their plan or incur the additional charge. There are no published plan tiers or trial terms to compare, so organisations evaluating it should establish the full costs and terms before committing.

Platforms

CoolTrak365 is available on Android, iOS and the web. The device sends readings to the cloud, while the installation's website portal provides access to data and settings.

Who it's for

The product is aimed at organisations overseeing medicines and medical products across healthcare cold chains. Kelsius identifies hospitals, hospital and retail pharmacies, laboratories, medical logistics providers, nursing homes, vaccination clinics and pharmaceutical manufacturers as relevant sectors. Continuous monitoring, multiple alert channels and long-term records make it a stronger fit for teams with ongoing oversight and audit needs than for buyers seeking a low-cost, occasional-use temperature logger.

Kelsius is a manufacturer and provider of wireless temperature-monitoring systems, headquartered in Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland. Founded in 2000, it says it exports products and services to more than 50 countries. Customer support is available Monday to Friday, 0800–1800 UK and Ireland local time; Kelsius Chat provides 24/7 technical support and reference material.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Continuous monitoring, real-time excursion alerts and both remote and local alarm channels give teams several routes to identify temperature problems.
• Pro: Tamperproof temperature and location records, automated reporting and support for named compliance standards are useful for audit-oriented healthcare operations.
• Pro: More than 30 years of data retention, EU data processing and storage, encryption and portal access controls address long-term recordkeeping and access management.
• Con: A device covers only two separate storage areas, which can mean additional equipment for larger sites.
• Con: The local buffer holds 2,880 readings, equivalent to 10 days at five-minute intervals, so it is bounded rather than indefinite.
• Con: SMS alerts carry an additional charge, and custom pricing makes budgeting dependent on a quote.

Verdict

CoolTrak365 is a strong fit for healthcare organisations that need continuous cold-chain monitoring, multiple alert channels and durable, audit-ready records. Its compliance focus and long retention are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if a device must cover more than two areas, SMS must be included without an extra charge, or pricing transparency is essential before requesting a quote.
