Reducing Cargo Theft Risks with BoxHound

Cargo theft costs businesses an estimated $50–$100 billion annually (confirmation of stats recommended). While most high-value cargo is insured, financial compensation does not prevent the ripple effects of theft—supply shortages, manufacturing delays, and retail disruptions—all of which can result in additional financial and reputational losses for both cargo owners and insurers.

Beyond Traditional Cargo Tracking

Standard tracking systems only monitor container location, detecting deviations or electronic jamming. However, they do not provide visibility into unauthorized access or tampering during transit.

BoxHound: Real-Time Cargo Security

BoxHound delivers continuous monitoring and immediate alerts if a container is opened, providing precise time, location, and incident details.

Key Benefits:

🔹 Instant Alerts – Detect and report unauthorized access in real time.
🔹 Enhanced Investigations – Location data supports identifying perpetrators and crime scenes.
🔹 Risk Assessment – Insights help analyze vulnerabilities in transport routes, rest areas, terminals, and storage facilities.
🔹 Stronger Security Standards – Cargo owners using BoxHound demonstrate a commitment to protecting their shipments, reducing the likelihood of compromised deliveries.

Investing in BoxHound means investing in proactive risk management, safeguarding cargo integrity, curtailing liability, and strengthening security throughout the supply chain.

The problem: Unauthorized access to insured cargo may result in loss and delays. These breaches can potentially happen at any time from the container is closed at the point of departure, on truck, on rail, in terminal or on ship, until it arrives at the destination. Without detailed container voyage data, there is little hope of finding the perpetrators and potentially pass the cost.

How Boxhound can help: We provide data on where and when any unauthorized access has occurred and thus support in identifying who was responsible for the cargo at the time of access.

Today it is difficult, potentially impossible, to determine when and by whom a container has been unauthorized accessed during a voyage. By mandating a shipper to use BoxHound for a valuable cargo shipment, you may be able to limit you liability and pass all or some of the cost to an identifiable party and ultimately limit your cost.

(in time) Such data may also be used to identify patterns in criminal activity and un-authorized access. ...... but we cannot do this at this point in time???
