Customs Transit Monitoring
Follow bonded containers and trucks between customs control zones, with tamper alerts and route-deviation alarms
Who Is This For
Customs or revenue officer responsible for transit cargo between border crossings, ports and bonded zones, who has to show that goods in transit reached their destination untouched.
The Challenge
Transit goods can be diverted to local markets or tampered with between control points, and without tracking there is no record of where a container went or when it was opened. Physical escorts are slow and costly, and paperwork alone cannot show what happened on the road.
Key Pain Points
- No visibility of transit containers between control points
- Transit goods diverted to local markets or smuggled
- Escorting bulk and high-duty cargo ties up staff and slows crossings
- No reliable record for investigating incidents afterwards
How Cypod Solves It
Each transit container is fitted with a CyLock door lock or a CySeal rope seal and assigned to its truck and route in the Cypod mobile app. The device reports its position by satellite positioning and cellular location, stores data when there is no coverage and sends it when coverage returns, and raises an alert the moment it is tampered with. The platform compares each journey with its designated route and geofences.
Key Solution Features
- CyLock or CySeal on each container, with tamper alerts if the bolt or rope is cut or the device is removed
- Designated routes and geofences, with alerts when a truck leaves its corridor
- Unlocking authorised on site in the mobile app or remotely from the control centre
- Optional Thuraya satellite on CyLock and CySeal where cellular coverage is weak
- CyTag sensors inside the container for temperature, humidity and light
