UBQ Freshness Index™
Know the Remaining Shelf-life of Every Shipment. Simply scan a GS1 barcode or enable automated arrival events to instantly view Remaining Shelf-life.
FreshIDX™ transforms cold chain data into shelf-life intelligence, helping produce teams predict product health, reduce shrink and make better operational decisions before quality declines.
How Big Is the Problem?
Shelf-life Loss Adds Up Fast. Costing Grocery Millions of Dollars.
Hidden shelf-life loss often goes undetected by traditional temperature alerts and inbound quality inspections until produce reaches the shelf.
Our proprietary Berry Study revealed that 31.5% of inbound strawberry shipments lost at least 0.5 days of remaining shelf-life before reaching the distribution center.
The impact is increased shrink, lower gross margins, and reduced customer satisfaction.

UBQ Freshness Index™
Know Remaining Shelf-life Before Quality Declines
UBQ Freshness Index™ transforms temperature history, transit events and commodity-specific biological models into real-time Remaining Shelf-life predictions.
Each new logistics event updates the prediction so teams understand the biological condition of produce—not simply whether temperature limits were exceeded.
- Scan a GS1 2D Barcode to provide a real time Remaining Shelf-life Traffic Light
- Event-driven Remaining Shelf-life calculations such as Arrival at Distribution Center or Store.
- Entire Freshness history from Harvest to Store.
Instead of reacting to quality failures, suppliers and retailers can proactively identify at-risk shipments before freshness is lost.
