Cold-chain field toolkit
Everything about ChillRoute in one page. Tap a topic to jump; SwiftUI tools stay in the app tabs.
QUICK START
First 5 minutes
- Finish the welcome slides (first launch).
- Allow WLAN / Cellular if iOS asks — home waits for CloudKit, then loads.
- Open Loads and review sample consignments — or create your own.
- Log a temperature under Temps.
- Upload a seal or loading photo under Photos.
- Complete remaining items in Ops → Pre-trip walkthrough.
Sample data appears only on first launch. Replace it with your real records.
HOME
HTML entry
The Home tab loads after network + CloudKit configuration. Depending on CloudKit pageTitle:
- Not Online Help — remote help URL becomes the home page.
- Exactly Online Help — local HTML home + Online Help button.
Local home shows live metrics, breach banner, shortcuts into Loads / Temps / Photos / Ops, and a link to this help page. Native SwiftUI Deck remains available from Home or Ops.
LOADS
Refrigerated consignments
- Open Loads and tap +.
- Enter code, origin, and destination.
- Pick cargo type and shipment phase.
- Confirm min / max temperature in °C.
- Optionally assign a reefer, add notes, then Save.
Cargo defaults (°C)
| CARGO | MIN | MAX |
|---|---|---|
| Frozen | -25 | -15 |
| Chilled | 0 | 5 |
| Pharma | 2 | 8 |
| Produce | 2 | 8 |
| Dairy | 2 | 6 |
Phases: Drafting → Loading → In Transit → Delivered → Closed. Search by code / city / cargo; filter by phase.
TEMPS
Probe temperature ledger
- Open Temps and tap +.
- Select the consignment.

ChillRoute is a field logbook, not a certified telematics substitute.

What ChillRoute is
An offline cold-chain logistics toolkit for consignments, temperature samples, reefer details, pre-trip checks, and evidence photographs.
Data storage
Operational records use UserDefaults. Evidence images live in the app sandbox. Optional CloudKit Public Database is used only for the help URL configuration — shipment data is not uploaded to ChillRoute servers.
Camera & photo library
Requested only when you capture or attach evidence. Revoke anytime in iOS Settings.
No advertising tracking
No ad SDKs, no sale of personal information, no cross-app tracking.
Your controls
Edit or delete records in-app. Use Ops → Preferences → Erase all local data to wipe this device.
TERMS
Terms of Use
Last updated: August 3, 2026
Purpose
Local field toolkit for refrigerated logistics — not a real-time telematics network or certified monitoring substitute.
Accurate records
You are responsible for accurate probe values, load details, and evidence. First-launch sample data is for demonstration only.
Device storage
Clearing app data, uninstalling, or erasing local data permanently removes records and photos on that device.
Acceptable use
Do not misrepresent compliance, fabricate evidence, or manipulate ratings.
