A system and method are described for ensuring that a product has been transported in acceptable environmental conditions. For example, one embodiment of the invention comprises: one or more sensors to measure environmental conditions during transport of the IoT device from an origin location to a destination location; a sensor interface coupled to the one or more sensors to communicate environmental values associated with the environmental conditions; a storage device to store monitor application program code; a processor coupled to the sensor interface and storage device, the processor to process the monitor application program code to perform operations based on the environmental values including storing the environmental values on the storage device; and a wireless communication interface to connect to an Internet of Things (IoT) service at one or more intermediate locations between the origin location and the destination location and/or at the destination location, the wireless communication interface to transmit the environmental values and/or event data associated with the environmental values to the IoT service; wherein the IoT service is to provide the environmental values and/or event data associated with the environmental values to one or more apps running on one or more client devices, the one or more apps associated with one or more accounts on the IoT service.
