At Surfact, we believe every piece of cargo has a story to tell — and it’s our job to make sure it’s heard. That mission just got a major boost.
We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Catena Clearing, a cutting-edge telematics platform based in New York. Together, we’re bringing unprecedented visibility to supply chains — not just at the fleet level, but all the way down to the pallet.
In today’s logistics landscape, data is everything — but most systems are still running blind. While software has evolved, the physical layer of logistics remains under-instrumented. That’s why we built Emma, our compact, cable-free IoT tracker that delivers real-time intelligence on temperature, shock, and location. Now, by pairing Emma’s granular cargo data with Catena’s real-time fleet telematics, we’re delivering something new: true end-to-end visibility.
This partnership creates a unified freight intelligence layer — from truck to pallet, across trailers, fleets, and cargo. It’s seamless, API-driven, and ready to unlock smarter decisions, safer goods, and streamlined operations.
As our CEO Per Magne Helseth puts it:
“We make cargo talk so systems can truly listen, act, and deliver impact. Together with Catena, we’re closing the data gap between dispatch and delivery.”
With plug-and-play simplicity, clean APIs, and real-time alerts, this solution is built for rapid cold chain deployment — without the infrastructure headaches. It’s the kind of practical innovation that makes compliance easy and theft prevention automatic.
Jeremy Baksht, Catena’s Co-Founder & CEO, shares our excitement:
“Our real-time telematics layer is the perfect foundation for Surfact’s sensor-driven intelligence. Together, we’re delivering transparency from the truck down to the pallet.”
Pilot programs are already underway, with broader rollouts planned throughout 2025. For cold chain operators, fleet managers, and anyone moving temperature-sensitive goods, the future just got a lot clearer.
The Highlights:
- Unified Freight Visibility — Combine Emma with fleet data for a 360° view.
- Plug-and-Play Simplicity — No cables, no hassle.
- Live Data & Seamless APIs — Make real-time decisions with confidence.
- Smarter Workflows — From anomaly alerts to compliance-ready reports.
- Cold Chain Confidence — Protect what matters, every step of the way.
Together with Catena, we’re not just improving visibility — we’re eliminating blind spots.
Stay tuned. The future of freight is in motion.
