The problem: Freight forwarders rely on carriers and their partners to safely deliver cargo from one destination to another. It is paramount for their reputation that their choice of carrier operates and handles the cargo containers in a responsible manner. However, once a container leaves the point of departure, they have no means to provide granular visibility into container status, including unauthorized access.

Shipping lines rely on vessel tracking for fleet management but lack granular visibility into container status, including unauthorized access. Without precise data on delays, security breaches, or carbon emissions, companies face inefficiencies in routing, fuel use, and regulatory compliance, leading to increased operational costs and risks.

How Boxhound can help: Partnering with Boxhound provides you the opportunity to offer an extra layer os security to your clients. Boxhound delivers precise tracking of container movements and security breaches. The client can not only track the location of their container but will also be notified if, where and when a container is opened and the cargo potentially tampered with. Boxhound will also provide data to track voyage carbon emissions which helps meet regulatory requirements, while improved security monitoring minimizes cargo tampering, theft and liability risks, ultimately cutting costs and improving service reliability.
