Transport and logistics companies have continuous competitive pressure to maximize capacity and improve
efficiencies of their infrastructure as well as to meet the increasing governmental regulation and compliance
demand. With machine-to-machine solutions, transport and logistics companies are able to monitor their
workforce/asset itinerary conditions in real time, transport the goods and people more safely and efficiently
and in turn increase end-customer satisfaction.
Vehicle / Freight Tracking
Millions of containers reach ports, airports, train stations and other transport hubs each year. However, only a

boarder movement by offering real-time asset tracking.
Benefits for Transport Service Providers:

Vehicle / Freight Monitoring
Connected containers and trucks equipped with M2M devices provide service providers and customers reliable and
timely information such as the location, temperature, weight and humidity of shipping vessels to ensure asset

and ensure the quality of the items especially for perishable goods.
Benefits for Transport Service Providers:
- Automated data logging and sharing with customers
