IoT Technology: A New Necessity for Supply Chain Leaders
Cargo Signal brings real-time visibility to supply chains struggling with disturbance, damages and delays by placing IoT sensors on global shipments. Our sensors get attached to your container, pallet or box, then go on to transmit data about its location and condition. If the data points signal an issue, an alert will be generated letting you know action is needed. Or you can have our logistics professionals in the Command Center, who monitor your shipments 24/7, 365 days a year, intervene on your behalf to solve the issue.
Cargo Signal's Difference
Rather than waiting for someone to physically search for your freight to give you an update, placing a sensor directly on your cargo can automatically and in real-time provide you information about where it is and what condition it’s in. Cargo Signal provides real-time visibility of your cargo, so you can make decisions to keep your supply chain moving. Our customers use our sensors and data to optimize their shipping operations, reduce costs and improve customer service.

Cargo Signal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Expeditors International. Our platform is neutral and available to all shippers. All data is private and exclusive. Access to the platform requires user authorization. We understand that when it comes to business, privacy is of the utmost importance.
