Startup Stories - Abid Khan (Thermalog)
Hear the experiences of an entrepreneur and business owner – the highs, the lows, the wins, the mistakes, the whole story

Abid Khan, University of Newcastle alumnus, is revolutionising temperature monitoring systems across Australia.
With constant threats of financial penalties, stock losses, and poor food handling practices looming over businesses, Abid created Thermalog's automated temperature monitoring system to help companies stay compliant with government regulations. His vision: to eliminate guesswork from temperature monitoring and provide businesses with reliable, real-time data.
Thermalog is more than just a product—it's a comprehensive solution that addresses the two-hour/four-hour rule, prevents stock losses through pre-spoilage alerts, and monitors estimated bacterial growth. Through ready-to-use, self-installable, and low-cost wireless sensors, Abid is helping businesses save time, money, and prevent potential losses with customisable alerts via text, email, or audio/visual alarms.
