Chaos Across Your Chain

Franchises and multi-site operations—like cafe chains—face a nightmare when temperature and humidity go rogue. High humidity above 70%-80% with temps over 5°C breeds mould—spores ruin $2,000-$5,000 per site yearly, ballooning to $10,000-$25,000 across five locations. Too dry below 40% costs $1,000-$2,000 per site. A breakdown at 8°C trashes $5,000-$10,000 per spot—$25,000-$50,000 chain-wide. Staff skipping checks adds $500-$1,000 labor or $1,000-$3,000 spoilage per site. HACCP fines of $1,000-$3,000 per location ($5,000-$15,000 total) hit without logs. Equipment repairs from moisture run $500-$1,000/site, risking $15,000 chain-wide losses yearly.

Our $429 system tracks temp and humidity with $49 alarms and $159 loggers ($143.10 second). Humidity at 78% RH? Alerts sound—ventilate for 10-15 minutes or add $100-$300 dehumidifiers for 60%-65% RH. Silica packs ($10-$20/month) or airtight bins cut mould by 80%, saving $2,000-$5,000/site. Dry at 35% RH? Water trays or $50-$150 humidifiers hit 50%-60%, keeping $1,000-$2,000 safe/site. Temp at 8°C? $49 alarm blares—shift $5,000-$10,000/site, fix cooling for $100-$200. Auto-reports (“4°C, 65% RH”) dodge $1,000-$3,000 fines/site.
