Two industry leaders unite 40+ years of cold chain expertise with next-generation AI-powered logistics intelligence to set a new standard in GDP/GMP-compliant pharma supply chain transparency and compliance.
Vienna, March 2026 – tempmate GmbH, a global leader in supply chain monitoring solutions with over four decades of industry experience, and PAXAFE, a pioneering pharmaceutical logistics & quality intelligence platform, today announced a strategic partnership that brings together unmatched operational depth and cutting-edge digital innovation — united by a single purpose: to protect the integrity of pharmaceutical supply chains worldwide.
Experience Meets Intelligence – towards a comprehensive approach of critical Supply Chains
Since its founding in 1983, tempmate® has grown from a specialist in temperature measurement into a trusted partner for the monitoring of sensitive goods — serving more than 1,500 customers across 90 countries, processing over one million shipments annually, and supporting a network of more than 100 distributors. That journey, from single-use data loggers to fully integrated monitoring solutions, culminated in chaingr®, tempmate®’s flagship solution suite that unites smart devices, integrated cloud intelligence, and expert services to reduce losses, ensure quality and compliance across the world’s most critical supply chains.
PAXAFE brings a purpose-built pharmaceutical logistics intelligence platform to the partnership, designed specifically for the regulatory and operational demands of GDP- and GMP-governed environments. With a focus on lane planning, real-time visibility, quality operations and predictive analytics, PAXAFE delivers the digital depth that modern pharmaceutical supply chains require — turning complex logistics data into actionable intelligence that reduces risk, ensures compliance, and protects patient outcomes.
Together, tempmate® and PAXAFE address the full spectrum of pharmaceutical supply chain needs: from the physical capture and transmission of critical environmental data in the field to the intelligent analysis, alerting and compliance reporting that regulated industries depend on. This way, both companies are strengthening their offering with advanced compliance capabilities for GDP/GMP-regulated environments.
A Partnership Built on Complementary Strengths
The pharmaceutical supply chain is undergoing profound transformation. Regulatory requirements are intensifying, supply chains are growing more global and complex, and the expectation for seamless traceability and end-to-end transparency has never been higher. tempmate® and PAXAFE share customers, markets, and an uncompromising commitment to quality — and it is the depth of their complementarity that creates value beyond what either could deliver independently:
- Decades of trust & knowledge: 40+ years of hands-on experience in cold chain monitoring, combined with the agility and innovation of a modern logistics intelligence platform
- Regulatory expertise: Joint competency across GDP, GMP and international compliance frameworks such as ISO 9001 quality standards and EcoVadis sustainability recognition— purpose-built for regulated environments
- Global reach: A combined footprint spanning 90 countries across all continents, a deeper knowledge on both American and European markets supported by a distribution network built for scale, reliability, and local expertise
- End-to-end transparency: From smart monitoring devices in the field to cloud-based dashboards, automated reporting and AI-powered predictive analytics, the partnership covers the full monitoring lifecycle transforming raw supply chain data into actionable intelligence
- Patient-first & sensitive goods focus: t the centre of every decision: the responsibility to safeguard the quality and efficacy of pharmaceutical products reaching patients worldwide
