Data Integration for Cold Chain Monitoring
Data interoperability for Cold Chain Equipment is made possible with OpenFn. Automated data exchange between remote temperature monitoring devices, supply chain systems and national health information systems ensures vaccines stay viable from warehouse to administration.
Real use case
Implementing Nigeria's CCDX
Supporting the NPHCDA to design a cold-chain data exchange for optimizing vaccine cold chain utilization.
- Smart data mapping and reconciliation between equipment registries
- 8 + reusable workflows to automate data exchange across IT systems and enhance cold chain equipment monitoring
- Full data interoperability and support for EMS format
Workflows
Integrate any supplier system
OpenFn automatically fetches data from supplier portals, analyzes temperature alarms and aggregate temperature readings. Functional statuses and alarm counts can be synced daily to external systems such as DHIS2, openLMIS or mSupply.
- Collect RTMD data from any vendor
- Format and analyse temperature data
- Sync daily indicators and update equipment status
One platform. Limitless interoperability.
OpenFn connects any system in your cold chain ecosystem. Our open-source adaptors integrate with the tools you already use: supply chain systems, health information systems, RTMD vendors and analytics platforms.
Ready-to-use templates
This suite of workflows helps automate cold chain equipment monitoring by connecting Fridge-tag data (temperature summaries and alarm information) collected via the Varo mobile app into your DHIS2 Tracker app and update functional statuses in OpenLMIS.

OpenFn serves as the "smart plumbing" layer that connects cold chain equipment, supply chain management systems, and national health information systems. We don't replace your existing tools—we make them work together.
Monitor Equipment in Real-Time
Aggregate temperature readings from any RTMD vendor—Haier, Beyond Wireless, Berlinger, VARO, and more—into your existing systems without manual data entry.
Act Before Vaccines Are Lost
Automated alerts notify administrators when equipment fails or temperatures exceed thresholds, enabling rapid response before viable stock is compromised.
Match Supply with Demand
Automatically sync vaccine stock data with immunization demand forecasts. Know exactly how much you need, where you need it, and when.
Adaptors
Connect anything
Quickly connect your apps using our existing 70+ open source Adaptors to integrate any web API, database, SFTP server, or raw file export.
Auditability
Monitor activity & retry failures
Our comprehensive History view provides a central interface for monitoring data flows across your ecosystem. Validate authenticity, troubleshoot, and retry failures. OpenFn provides a full audit trail of data being exchanged between systems, ensuring accountability and transparency throughout your digital public infrastructure.
"OpenFn has been invaluable for automating data pipelines and shifting toward real-time data and feedback to help teams better manage field activities."
