Company profile
researched Aug 2026Surfact is a Norwegian company that supplies sensor hardware and accompanying monitoring software for cold chain visibility across temperature-sensitive logistics. Its core product is the Emma smart tracker, a self-contained device that can be placed on a pallet, inside a medical case, or mounted in a trailer, van or truck, and that also operates in fixed storage settings such as pharmacy, restaurant, retail and distribution-centre fridges and freezers. The device provides ISO/NIST certified live temperature tracking and is positioned as requiring no hub, gateway or cabling, with setup described as taking under ten seconds.
The company frames its offering around end-to-end chain-of-custody evidence: continuous monitoring during transport, smart alerts and predictions, and reporting and audit outputs intended to demonstrate that pharmaceutical and food deliveries held temperature from dispatch to delivery. Products are designed, engineered and manufactured in Norway, and the hardware is built from recycled ocean plastics.
