TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS

Annually, cargo stolen while in transit is valued at as much as $30 billion in the United States. Companies shipping high-value goods that are easy to resell, such as computers, pharmaceuticals, consumer non-durables, and even currency, face the greatest threat of all. Thieves are willing to steal almost anything that can be resold and in many cases there are few systems in place to deter theft or recover stolen goods.

In addition to the costs associated with lost or stolen goods, many companies face a wide range of other costs associated with operating complex transportation and logistics networks, including:

Route optimization to minimize fuel and labor costs

Maintaining service levels to ensure customer satisfaction and retention

Ensuring peak utilization of available vehicles

Minimizing delays caused by events such as construction, traffic accidents or inclement weather

Minimizing spoilage caused by changes in temperature within climate controlled shipping containers

Offering value-added services for customers such as on-demand tracking of shipments in real time

Minimizing the time products spend sitting on a loading dock awaiting

Whether you are a warehouse manager waiting to see if a shipment will arrive on time, an undercover officer working to dismantle a freight theft operation or a logistics manager trying to ensure that products are available to consumers in your stores, location-enabled applications that track vehicles and containers at all times are invaluable.
