Case Study: Covino Farms achieves food-safety compliance and real-time cold-chain visibility with Coretex

Covino Farms - Customer Case Study

Covino Farms, a family-owned, fully integrated vegetable grower and processor based in Longford, Gippsland, supplies fresh produce across eastern Australia and operates a fleet of eight climate-controlled trucks. Facing stricter farm-to-fork food-safety regulations that demand continuous cold‑chain temperature tracking—beyond time-consuming, infrequent and unreliable manual checks—Covino Farms partnered with Coretex and adopted Coretex’s Cold Chain temperature monitoring solution to ensure compliance and protect product quality.

Coretex deployed its single-platform Cold Chain system across Covino’s reefer assets, fitting sensors and probes that record and transmit temperature, humidity, air flow and refrigeration performance in real time, plus geofencing, alerts and remote temperature adjustment. The solution also provides vehicle location and drivers’ hours tracking, automating compliance and replacing manual processes; as a result, Coretex enabled continuous monitoring of Covino Farms’ eight trucks, faster response to anomalies, improved customer ETAs and greater transparency and trust in their cold‑chain operations.
