Coolant Calculator

PeriWrap unveils the Coolant Calculator, a free tool to help shippers determine how much dry ice they need.

What It Is.

The Coolant Calculator is a state-of-the-art software program designed to take the guesswork out of just how much refrigerant your perishable shipments need in order to arrange safely to your customers.

How It Works.

•     A thermal model is created based on the temperature data collected through the program. The model is tailored to your product and pack-out taking into consideration box sizes, insulation, coolant amounts, transit times and ambient temps.

•     For each box you’re shipping we specify the amount of coolant needed based on the thermal model and the weather forecasts along the predicted route.

•     The Coolant Calculator easily integrates with Shopify.

Why Do I Need It?

1.   On average customers save $1 per box in materials and logistic costs alone. Stop over-icing and feel confident that your shipments will arrive safely.

2.   By identifying shipments that will have excessive heat exposure you can make sure they are packed properly thereby eliminating customer credits due to heat damaged products.

3.   Use the predicted heat exposure data to make informed decisions on shipping times. Only upgrade to costly one or two-day shipping when necessary.

4.   Reduce your carbon footprint with less material and less weight.

5.   Not every customer will give you a second chance—be sure and get it right the first time!
