Overview
Over 16 million maritime containers are in transit throughout the world on any given day – at sea, on rail, over the road, or awaiting stuffing, pick-up, delivery and stripping. A misplaced container results in financial and operational risk and any delay in delivery only lead to increased transaction costs, production disruptions, missed sales opportunity and higher costs of goods sold.
Solution
KeyTone's in-transit visibility solution is based on RFID, GPS, internet and cell network technology that allows companies to track an order along with their associated containers, determine current position of a container with cargo on a world map and find out when and where the last transshipment has taken place. The solution can be further extended to verify the contents of the container to ensure that there is no loss in transit. The system allows shippers to manage their client expectations by forecasting and scheduling delivery based on any delays and bottlenecks. It also helps freight forwarders more accountable within the supply chain.
The KeyTone solution facilitates the flow of accurate and timely information across supply chain partners and government agencies.
- Optimize container logistics processes.
- Improve supply chain efficiency and reduce costs.
- Achieve more efficient and individual container traceability.
- Deter theft, diversion and counterfeiting.
- Receive notifications when an exception occurs in a given business process.
- Integrate the RFID/GPS technology into existing business processes and gaining competitive edge for the future.
