Your fridge watches itself. You just get a message.

Yes, digital records are fully allowed and often easier to prove than paper. The NVWA asks you to log and keep your temperatures consistently, not that they sit on paper. Coolwatcher records automatically and turns it into an inspection-ready PDF report every month.

An NVWA fine for missing records starts around 525 euro. Strikingly, missing records are the single most common reason for a fine, even when your temperatures were perfectly fine. With automatic, complete records you no longer run that risk.

No, Coolwatcher works without WiFi. The box sends its readings over NB IoT, a mobile network with coverage across the Netherlands that even works in the basement. There is no password to set up, and a flaky router never takes it down.

Installation takes about ten minutes and needs no technician or tools. You stick the box on with the 3M tape already on the sensor and slide the thin probe through the door seal. We ship everything by post, so you can get going right away.

Coolwatcher starts at 50 euro a month for the Start plan with two sensors, for example your fridge and your freezer. That includes your WhatsApp alerts, automatic HACCP records, batteries, replacement and support. More fridges or freezers? Add extra sensors, or pick Plus at 100 euro or Pro at 150 euro a month with more measuring points.

The moment a temperature goes out of range, the power cuts out or a door stays open too long, you get a message on WhatsApp straight away. That lets you step in before your stock is lost, day or night, weekday or weekend. Afterwards the bot asks what you did and records it in your HACCP report.

One sensor watches one measuring point, so one fridge or one freezer. If you have a fridge and a freezer, you use two sensors. That way you know exactly what is happening at each point and get a targeted alert when something goes wrong. You start with the Start plan from 50 euro per month and add more sensors for 25 euro per month each.

That is exactly why the sensor calls you. Normal alerts come over WhatsApp, but on a critical failure such as a power outage or a fridge running away, Coolwatcher switches to an automatic phone call. A message is easy to sleep through, a ringing phone is not. If you do not answer, the next contact is called automatically, so an alarm in the middle of the night never slips by unnoticed and your stock is saved.

Yes. You get alerts and reports over WhatsApp and by email, so you never miss anything. If you want more, you log in to your Coolwatcher dashboard: there you see all your measuring points live, the temperature history in graphs, your complete alarm log and every monthly report to download. Logging in is not required, it is there for when you want the overview, for example across multiple locations or for a strict audit.

Coolwatcher flags a fault straight away, often before your stock is at risk. That time is exactly what matters: the early warning lets you call your refrigeration engineer or a 24/7 breakdown service and move your stock if needed, instead of finding a spoiled fridge in the morning. Coolwatcher does not fix the fault itself, but it makes sure you are the first to know and can prevent the big loss.
