Testimonials
Hear what some of our clients have to say about our solution
"Quick, efficient support. New battery pack within three days ordered, received and installed. Moisture sensor up and recording again. Great work Darren"
Jannes Fouche
"We bought a temperature sensor to monitor our solar equipment room and warn of air conditioner failures. We decided on this specific product because it offers the functionality to send alerts via WhatsApp and not only e-mail like many others.
The sensor was straightforward to install, requiring no external power or a Wi-Fi network connection. It worked perfectly out of the box and is the perfect solution for our needs.
The service I received from David was truly exceptional. I cannot recommend Sense It highly enough and we will definitely buy more sensors to monitor our server rooms and walk-in fridges and freezers."

General Questions
Pharmaceutical temperature monitoring is the process of continuously measuring and recording temperature conditions in areas where medications, vaccines, and other pharmaceutical products are stored or transported. It ensures these products remain within required temperature ranges to maintain their efficacy and safety.
Continuous monitoring provides real-time alerts for temperature excursions, allowing immediate corrective action. Manual monitoring creates gaps in data that can miss critical events, potentially compromising product quality and regulatory compliance. Continuous systems ensure uninterrupted documentation required by regulatory agencies.
Pharmaceutical temperature monitoring is mandated by several key regulations, including the Medicines and Related Substances Act (Act 101 of 1965), regulated by SAHPRA (South African Health Products Regulatory Authority), the Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) Manual, and routine inspections conducted by the SAPC and the Department of Health. Our system ensures full compliance with these standards by providing automated temperature logging, secure documentation, and audit-ready reports.
Technical Questions
Our system supports multiple connectivity options to fit any facility: Bluetooth for areas with existing networks, LoRaWAN & Sigfox for long-range, wide-area monitoring, Cellular (4G/5G) for remote locations, and Satellite connectivity for extremely remote areas without other infrastructure.
Our sensors are engineered for extended battery life. Bluetooth sensors typically last 1-2 years. LoRaWAN and Sigfox sensors last 3 years. All sensors provide low-battery alerts through the app and dashboard well before replacement is needed, and battery status is continuously monitored.
Our standard sensors have an accuracy of ±0.5°C across the full pharmaceutical range (-40°C to +60°C). High-precision models for critical applications offer ±0.1°C accuracy. All sensors come with optional SANAS-traceable calibration certificates and can be recalibrated annually to maintain accuracy.
Installation & Setup
Our system is designed for DIY installation with no technical expertise required. Sensors are battery-powered and wireless, so there's no wiring or complex setup. Simply place sensors in the locations you want to monitor and follow the step-by-step app instructions to connect them to your network.
In most cases, no IT involvement is needed. Our cellular, Sigfox & LoRaWAN options bypass your internal networks entirely. We provide simple instructions that typically don't require IT support. However, in secure environments, we can work with your IT team to ensure smooth integration.
The number of sensors depends on your facility layout and regulatory requirements. Typically, one sensor is needed for each refrigerator, freezer, and storage area. We offer a free assessment service where we review your floor plans and provide recommendations for optimal sensor placement.
Compliance & Reporting
Our system maintains continuous, tamper-proof data records that satisfy SAHPRA, GPP, and other regulatory requirements. Automated reporting ensures documentation is always up-to-date and audit-ready. Features like electronic signatures, access controls, and comprehensive audit trails meet 21 CFR Part 11 and similar international regulations.
Our sensors continue to monitor and store data locally during outages. Once connectivity is restored, all accumulated data automatically uploads to the cloud. For critical applications, we offer cellular backup options that automatically switch to cellular networks if your primary connection fails.
Yes, all historical data is securely stored and easily accessible. Standard plans include 3-5 years of data storage, while enterprise plans offer unlimited historical data. You can generate comprehensive reports for any time period with just a few clicks, making audit preparation simple and stress-free.
