Project Management Software for Cold Storage & Cold-Chain EPC
Built for the leakiest sub-vertical in Indian EPC — PUF panels, refrigeration design changes, ammonia commissioning, and RA-bill deviations that compound month-on-month.

What breaks today
The five recurring pain patterns that drive project management software for cold storage & cold-chain epc projects into RA disputes, BG penalties, and capital lockup.
- ● PUF panel price volatility (insulation thickness specs change mid-project, killing the BOQ)
- ● Refrigeration design changes after PRA (Pre-Refrigeration Audit) — new evaporators, condenser capacity revisions, ammonia line reroutes
- ● Two-stage commissioning (envelope, then refrigeration) creates a billing gap nobody plans for
- ● FSSAI / cold-chain certifications gate handover — RA bills get stuck on paperwork, not progress
- ● Insurance for ammonia plants spikes BG collateral requirements — Commercial team scrambles every quarter
How KaptIQ is built for this
Vertical-specific milestone templates, RA reconciliation logic, and stagnation flags — not a generic PM tool retrofitted with a new logo.
PUF panel sequencing milestone tracker
Panel arrival → erection → joint sealing → roof closure. KaptIQ's milestone engine treats PUF erection as a critical-path block, not a generic line item, so your daily Action Queue surfaces panel-sequencing delays before they cascade into refrigeration mobilisation.
Two-stage commissioning RA bill discipline
Civil envelope handover and refrigeration commissioning are two different RA cycles. KaptIQ separates them in your billing plan, so the gap between Stage-1 retention release and Stage-2 commissioning doesn't bleed cash for 90+ days.
Ammonia / GLY system commissioning checklist
Pull-down test, leak test, FSSAI inspection, OEM sign-off — KaptIQ ships a vertical template with these as gating milestones. No Excel template required; the closure workflow blocks RA submission until each checklist row is signed.
Cold-chain BG calendar
Cold storage projects run 3-5 BGs per project (performance, retention, advance, mobilisation, FSSAI compliance). KaptIQ's BG tracker pushes T-30 / T-14 / T-7 alerts on WhatsApp so your Commercial Manager never misses a renewal during plant commissioning.

Common questions
From founders, Director-Projects, Commercial Managers, and CFOs we have spoken to during the Founding 25 cohort design phase.
Does KaptIQ handle PUF panel material reconciliation?
Yes. PUF panel arrivals, joint material consumption, and surface area variance are tracked at milestone level. The deviation surfaces in your weekly RA reconciliation report instead of being buried in a quarterly stock take.
What about refrigeration BOQ versioning?
Each design change creates a versioned BOQ snapshot. RA bills are validated against the version active on that milestone's certification date, not the latest BOQ — eliminating the most common cold-storage RA dispute.
Can the system handle FSSAI / cold-chain certifications as milestones?
Yes. Add them as closure-gate milestones; the EPC billing gate prevents RA submission until the certification is logged. PMs can't skip the paperwork by accident.
Does KaptIQ replace our Tally / SAP for cold storage projects?
No. Tally and SAP remain your transaction system of record. KaptIQ is a decision system that sits alongside, ingests your billing data, and tells you which project to chase, which BG to renew, and which contractor is bleeding capital.
How does the WhatsApp digest help during commissioning?
Daily 10 AM IST digest pushes the day's stagnated milestones, BG expiries within 30 days, and overdue receivables ranked by amount. During commissioning weeks, this keeps your Director-Projects in the loop without WhatsApp groups blowing up.
Can we run KaptIQ for a single ₹15 Cr cold storage pilot?
Yes — Starter tier is free for up to 2 users and includes basic project tracking. Upgrade to Growth (₹4,999/mo for the Founding 25 cohort, ₹9,999/mo standard) when you need RA reconciliation and full advisory engine.
