Inland Container Logistics
Route adherence, cargo security and condition monitoring for containers moving by road
Who Is This For
Operations manager at a trucking or third-party logistics company, responsible for on-time delivery, cargo security and meeting customer service-level agreements.
The Challenge
Once a truck leaves the depot, the team relies on phone calls to know where a load is. Route deviations, unauthorised stops and container breaches are discovered late, sensitive goods can spoil unnoticed, and parts of the network have weak cellular coverage.
Key Pain Points
- No live view of loads between depot and destination
- Route deviations and container breaches found after delivery
- Sensitive goods exposed to heat, humidity or light unnoticed
- Weak cellular coverage on some routes
How Cypod Solves It
Each container carries a CyLock or CySeal that reports its position and raises tamper alerts, paired over Bluetooth with CyTag sensors that measure temperature, humidity and light inside. Routes and geofences are set in the platform, and CyLock and CySeal can add optional Thuraya satellite for stretches with weak cellular coverage.
Key Solution Features
- Live location of every container, with reporting intervals from 5 minutes to 24 hours
- Geofences and designated routes, with alerts on deviation
- Tamper alerts if a lock bolt or seal rope is cut
- CyTag readings for temperature, humidity and light, with threshold alerts
- Optional Thuraya satellite on CyLock and CySeal for low-coverage routes
Key Benefits
Customers told where their load is without calling the driver
Delivery and route records to show against service-level agreements
Deviations and breaches flagged during the journey, not at delivery
Tracking the company can offer its own customers as a service
