Media Sourcery Releases Asset Tracking Solution with Cold Chain Capability
Already in use tracking COVID-19 test kits, this blockchain-powered trust and traceability solution provides assuredness that assets are stored and transported at the correct temperature
AUSTIN, TX, May 18, 2021 - Workflow automation and security software solutions provider Media Sourcery, Inc. today announced the general availability of its Cold Chain solution. The solution’s initial implementation is in tracking COVID-19 test kits, monitoring that they are stored and transported at the proper temperature at each point in the supply chain.
Liberty Distribution in Simi Valley, CA, operates the cold storage warehouse that receives, stores and ships the COVID-19 test kits. “Our coolers have temperature sensors monitoring that the kits are stored at the correct temperature,” said Louie Manalad, VP of Logistics and Fulfillment . “The tracking provided with this solution lets us scan the kits when we ship them to record this, and allows the customers to scan upon receipt, making sure they were stored and transported correctly.”
The solution takes data from each event in the life of an asset, including location, user, temperature, event type and other details, and puts this information on the shared public ledger of a blockchain. Users can quickly and easily see the entire event history of each asset currently in their inventory, in route to their facility, or used assets history. Media Sourcery’s Cold Chain solution provides an iOS and Android app for scanning assets to log events in real time, and a browser app for reporting, recording data and for handheld barcode scanners.

Media Sourcery and Topl to Securely Track and Trace COVID-19 Test Kits
October 20, 2020 - Impact technology company Topl, together with workflow automation and security software provider Media Sourcery, Inc. (MSI) today announced a partnership to jointly develop and launch various blockchain-powered platforms.
The first project to be developed from this partnership will highlight the value of the collaboration of Topl’s impact-focused blockchain with the workflow automation and security tools of MSI when applied to healthcare. The two companies will be involved in tracking test kits for COVID-19, securing the provenance of the supply chain to provide laboratories, practitioners, and patients with assurance that the test kits were handled properly from testing to results reporting. The goal of this effort is to enhance the transparency of the test kit supply chain while also giving patients a method to access their testing data directly and securely via their mobile phone, receiving notifications every step of the way. Private patient health information (PHI) is stored and accessed in a HIPAA-compliant manner, and the solution can provide proof of test results to facilities that require it. MSI’s experience in the healthcare sector will ensure PHI is protected while utilizing the Topl blockchain to provide transparency for non-private information.
