Container Tracking 1.40
ired of not knowing what's going on with your cargo? Current container tracking methods just don't cut it.
Container tracking, for most, means logging into your carrier's container tracing system and receiving old, inaccurate information. For the Freight Forwarders and 3PLs among us, tracking containers also means calling our carriers and logistics subcontractors with the question that most of us want gone: WHERE IS THE #!@$% CONTAINER?!
To make things worse, as unbelievable as it sounds in 21st century logistics, containers still get lost, stolen and mishandled, while YOU have to sit down and pray that your cargo will arrive to its true destination untouched, undamaged and in time.
Well, no more.
There is a way to be proactive about container tracking. To add an extra layer of visibility and security to your cargo in transit.
What would you say if at a very low cost you could equip your container - ANY container - with a state of the art container tracking system so it would report to you what exactly is going on with it IN REAL TIME.
Imagine your shipping container immediately telling you:
where it is in the world
when the container is being picked up, loaded aboard a ship or onto a truck
if someone enters into your container (whether through the door or any other side)
the temperature inside the container
when the container is experiencing a strong shock
and provide you with a black box log so if anything happens, you'll know HOW it happened
Imagine that these reports arrive in REAL TIME and STRAIGHT to your cell phone.
Imagine that this awesome, next generation container tracking would cost you LESS THAN $40 PER SHIPMENT!
Imagine, if you're a freight forwarder/3PL, that you could give your customers a container tracking service and get more revenues and differentiation for your business! Imagine that this service would require NO IT costs, NO setup, and you could start tomorrow morning!
