FridgeIQ Implementation Framework

A six-phase framework designed to deploy FridgeIQ seamlessly across mutual aid, senior care, med spa, dental, and food operations.

For many medical, dental, and aesthetic practices, a single unnoticed fridge excursion can mean thousands of dollars in lost inventory, damaged reputation, or compliance risk. The FridgeIQ™ Implementation Framework ensures you protect your critical cold-chain assets from Day 1 and scale with confidence.

Phase 1: Intake & Discovery

Goal: Understand the organization’s cold storage operations, current monitoring process, and compliance or reporting needs.

Steps:

Host a brief intake to assess current monitoring workflow and stored inventory risk exposure
Confirm number of medication / biologic fridges, regulatory documentation needs, chain-of-custody
Confirm WiFi-enabled thermometer compatibility (YoLink preferred)
Capture client goals (compliance, restocking, reporting, etc.)

Phase 2: Data Setup

Goal: Establish a clean, reliable data flow from temperature sensors, logs, or manual uploads into BigQuery.

Steps:

• Configure secure data intake (sensor feed or manual log upload)

• Set up clean, structured data environment for real-time dashboard use

Phase 3: Dashboard Build (Looker Studio)

Goal: Build a dashboard that surfaces performance trends, compliance risks, and restock timing in one visual view.

Steps:

• Connect secure data views to real-time dashboard interface • Surface insights such as health performance, excursion tracking, and operational summaries • Match visual design to organization or brand standards • Enable action triggers (e.g., report download, alert activation, pilot request)

Phase 4: Review & QA

Goal: Test the system for accuracy, compliance readiness, and real-time reliability.

Steps:

• Simulate edge conditions (e.g., sensor loss, heat excursion, restock behavior) • Verify excursion detection, grading, and timestamp alignment • Conduct review with key stakeholders or compliance lead

Phase 5: Handoff & Maintenance Options

Goal: Ensure the organization is fully onboarded and operational — with or without ongoing monitoring support.

Steps:

• Provide dashboard access with brief guided walkthrough • Deliver Quick Reference or SOP documentation (PDF format) • Offer optional continuous monitoring and data optimization plan

Phase 6: Performance Review & Scaling

Goal: Evaluate operational performance and identify opportunities for expansion, optimization, or automation. Steps:

• Review 30-day and 90-day performance insights and trend data • Confirm readiness to onboard additional fridges, locations, or inventory types • Refine alert cadence, reporting preferences, or escalation workflows as needed
