FleetUp provides real-time GPS location and security of the containers and protection and monitoring of individual shipments
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To combat the continuing rise of theft, FleetUp has released a groundbreaking cargo security solution with shipment monitoring to ensure goods and high-value assets reach their destinations.
Over $30 billion of cargo is stolen in the US every year according to the FBI. The true cost of cargo theft is even greater than the bottom-line number. In addition to replacing lost shipments, businesses have to dedicate resources to additional customer support, working with law enforcement, and expediting replacements. Supply Chain Dive reports that businesses need to generate $2 million to offset every $200,000 of lost cargo.
FleetUp attacks the theft problem with a multi-pronged approach—first by protecting the entire container, second by protecting individual shipments, and finally, combining the two to provide an all-in-one cargo security solution.
FleetUp's container tracking and security technology features the industry's only break-in alerts. These are much more precise than other solutions, which send notifications when containers enter or leave geofences—a common activity that has far too many false positives to be a useful anti-theft tool. FleetUp's SMS and email alerts provide exceptional accuracy, notifying users the moment thieves actually enter containers.
FleetUp's shipment protection technology stops theft at several points. First, by showing users the real-time GPS location of their high-value shipments, FleetUp eliminates blind spots. Second, FleetUp eliminates manual processes errors with automated shipment registering and tracking. Third, FleetUp automatically categorizes shipments as "late" or "lost," so users always maintain full shipment traceability.
Operations that need comprehensive theft protection can use FleetUp's combined shipment and cargo protection product. This includes a crucial additional layer of protection: when a shipment is taken away from its container, users will be notified via SMS or email alerts. According to BSI and TT Club, 71% to 87% of cargo theft occurs when cargo is in transit. This cutting-edge feature gives users the power to respond to in-transit theft the moment it occurs.
"Until now, operations have had to settle for simple asset tracking solutions that focus on location without any additional data, automation, or alerts," said Ezra Kwak, founder and CEO of FleetUp. "These solutions simply don't provide the kind of visibility that lets drivers and operators see the real-time vulnerabilities of their high-value assets. With FleetUp, all of that data is available on a single, comprehensive cloud platform."
FleetUp's container and shipment security solution is the industry's most powerful anti-theft tool. Operations that need comprehensive theft protection can purchase FleetUp's combined shipment and container security as an all-in-one cargo security solution or purchase them separately. This new technology is a major step in helping the industry win the fight against rising theft. To find out more about FleetUp's cargo security solution, visit fleetup.com.
