IoT in Logistics

Delivering freight quickly, transparently, and securely

Overview

Whether you are a contract logistics provider, an asset owner, a manufacturer with goods to ship or a retailer delivering products to customers, logistics is an integral part of your business – where cost efficiency, agility, transparency and reliability are essential.

IoT technology improves customer experience as you have increased visibility of goods from start to finish. Optimising your supply chain also improves efficiency, so that your business can become more sustainable and reduce carbon emissions.

IoT helps avoid risks while increasing control

At any given time, more than 15 million containers are travelling through international waters or waiting to clear customs. These deliveries face many risks including delays, diversion, theft, physical damage and even piracy. In the past, delivering cross-continental transit typically risked a loss of visibility, and therefore control and finances.

Overall fleet costs continue to be the top challenge facing commercial fleet managers, followed closely by fuel price volatility. Other top challenges include increasing fleet safety and reducing preventable accident rates, finding cost-effective ways to green a fleet, and addressing ways to increase driver and fleet department productivity.

Working together, we will help your business discover how IoT can revolutionise the end to end flow of goods and services across our global footprint.

Asset tracking

Accurately track, optimise and secure your delivery chain

Whichever industry you support, it’s essential that your valuable mobile assets such as machinery, pallets or containers, are tracked wherever they go. Having visibility of your assets allows you to optimise costs and increase efficiency, while gaining peace of mind that freight is safe and secure during its journey.
