Here is what you need to know about cargo tracking and monitoring benefits:
What is Cargo Tracking and Monitoring?
Cargo tracking and cargo monitoring are two different things. However, they relate to each other at the same time.
Cargo tracking refers to finding the exact location of your cargo with GPS tracking integration. Cargo monitoring refers to checking the status of your shipment in transit.
When tracking cargo, we attach a disposable or reusable tracking device to your shipment or container at the loading point.
Cargo location tracking helps you see in which country and city your cargo is currently moving. You will receive real-time alerts in cases of mishandling. These alerts help detect and avoid delays.
On the other hand, cargo condition monitoring verifies defined conditions, usually for time-sensitive and high-value goods. These conditions include internal temperature, humidity, shocks, ventilation, light, etc.
Cargo status monitoring helps you make well-informed decisions early and mitigate anticipated supply chain risks.
