Telatemp

What Telatemp does

Telatemp manufactures temperature measurement and environmental monitoring devices for process, transit, and storage applications across pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, industrial safety, and food service end markets. The company was founded in 1972 and operates from Anaheim, California, with approximately 11–50 employees. Its product portfolio spans three main categories: irreversible temperature indicators (ColdSnap, ColdSnap+, WarmMark, WarmMark QR, ColdMark, 110 Series, SL Sensor Labels, DIP-400, 700/900 Series, Hot Hands warning labels, dishwasher strips, and temperature-indicating crayons), electronic data loggers (MaxiLog series including a -80°C multi-use model for dry ice shipments), and mechanical shock/tilt indicators (ShockWatch 2, TiltWatch XTR), plus humidity indicator cards. Core technical differentiators include the patented all-mechanical ColdSnap+ bimetallic design that achieves 2°C accuracy without batteries or fragile glass, and WarmMark QR which integrates smartphone scanning with automatic SpotSee Cloud data upload to support 21 CFR Part 11 pharmaceutical compliance.

The company's revenue model is hardware sales through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel (telatemp.com) with volume-based tiered pricing — unit prices range from $0.18 for SL sensor labels at high volumes to $379.15 for humidity indicator cards, with 5–6 quantity discount tiers per SKU. In April 2025, Telatemp was acquired by SpotSee, a Dallas-based condition monitoring company operating six facilities across Texas, Illinois, Mexico, Brazil, and the UK with customers in 62 countries. Following the acquisition, the Telatemp brand is being retired and all products unified under the SpotSee name effective November 2025, integrating Telatemp's product line into SpotSee's global distribution platform serving 4,500+ customers. Primary customer use cases center on cold chain monitoring for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, vaccines, blood products, and food, with secondary applications in industrial surface temperature safety and HACCP food service compliance.
