Next stop: Realtime tracking, door-to-door

When you run a logistics fleet, the transparency of your fleet movements is crucial: A logistics operator needs to have solid information about the location of each shipment, and the estimated time of arrival (ETA). With IoT – the Internet of Things – this task has become a lot easier, and machine learning is making ETA forecasts better and better.

Pole position in the race toward realtime door-to-door tracking in the general cargo segment.

„It is important that we know the position and condition of each shipment so that we can give our customers reliable information about the supply chain.”
