Understanding container & cargo tracking
High-value cargo is most exposed while it is moving. Container and cargo tracking attaches a GPS device to a container, trailer or shipment that reports its location along the whole route, so you know where your goods are from depot to delivery — and are alerted the moment something leaves the plan.
Route geofences and unexpected-stop alerts flag detours and unscheduled halts, and door or tamper alerts on supported devices tell you if a container is opened where it should not be. Dwell-time and idle reporting show where cargo is sitting and why, so you can tighten your logistics and prove chain-of-custody to your customers.
We offer long-life battery-powered trackers for containers and cargo as well as wired options for trailers, and recommend the right balance of update frequency and battery life for your operation.
