AssetTrace InTransit Platform

AssetTrace In-Transit is designed for companies and government organizations wishing to monitor the containerized shipment of products and/or assets across land and sea. In-Transit provides visibility of shipments and their associated contents via RFID, GPS, GPRS, and other sensor-based technologies. Monitoring can be done from any location via a web browser and visibility includes location via latitude/longitude coordinates shown on a map, alerts (tamper, temperature, vibration, etc.), vessel data, and more.

Improve Customer Service
With AssetTrace In-Transit, responding to customer inquiries is greatly simplified; moreover, proactively managing the customer relationship is now possible. Throughout the shipment process, the shipment is continuously monitored, providing location information and alerts on a variety of conditions. Customers can be informed in a timely manner of changes in delivery schedule.

Reduce Insurance Costs
Having greater control and knowledge of the condition of the shipment throughout the process can result in lower insurance costs due to lower risk. This is especially true in the cases of "secure" shipments that require tamper proof seals and "refrigerated" shipments that require the temperature be maintained within a specified range.

Improve Visibility of In-Transit Activities
Sensor-based technologies can be used to provide a wealth of information on the shipment. GPS, GPRS, and GSM Cellular technologies can provide location; temperature sensors can monitor temperature at regular intervals; vibration sensors can monitor whether a package or shipment has been dropped; tamper seals can provide alerts if a package or container is opened during shipment.

Improve Supply Chain Management
AssetTrace In-Transit can be of benefit to all elements of the supply chain. Shipment visibility has value to the manufacturer, the freight forwarder, the carrier, the insurance provider, and the customer. Supply chain managers at various levels can work more effectively with suppliers, partners, carriers, and customers to insure compliance with agreed service levels, policies, and best practices.
