THE SMART COLD CHAIN
Real-time connectivity, visibility and traceability for refrigerated transportation
Reduce spoiled goods through intelligent cold chain asset monitoring
Improper temperature control is among one of the top reasons why perishable goods are wasted in cold chain transport. Without a complete solution in place, cold chain fleets may struggle to meet strict food safety regulations and have a higher risk of spoiling loads. ORBCOMM provides fleets with the data and tools to reduce the risk of spoiled goods and help comply with regulations, while also reducing costs, increasing operational efficiency and improving customer service. With more than 80% market share of the refrigerated transportation market in the US, ORBCOMM delivers end-to-end telematics solutions that enable comprehensive management and two-way control of refrigerated trailers, containers and other assets in the supply chain on land, rail or sea
The smart cold chain: key benefits

THE SMART TRAILER
Complete visibility and efficiency
Intelligent asset monitoring for dry van fleets
For transportation and logistics companies, every minute on the road counts. Knowing where trailers are, how long they’ve been out of rotation and when they’ll reach their destination is essential to streamlining operations and improving profitability.ORBCOMM’s trailer tracking solution enables 24/7 visibility into the location and status of every trailer in the fleet. Whether you operate 10 or 100,000 trailers, our solution allows carriers to manage by exception, drawing attention to issues that require immediate action for a more efficient operation. Improve trailer utilization, optimize trailer pools, monitor for detention, protect high-value cargo and more with smart trailer data from a single cloud-based platform that seamlessly integrates with third-party systems
The Smart Trailer: Key Benefits
Improve trailer utilization for better profitability
Identify assets that have been dwelling for an extended time to get them back into rotation. Monitor trailer utilization at customer sites and optimize trailer pools by redeploying under-utilized assets to locations with higher demand. Achieve better trailer-to-tractor ratios and improve turn times with arrival and departure notifications. Eliminate yard checks and automate inventory tracking to streamline trailer assignment. Assign additional loads to drivers based on unused trailer capacity.
Monitor for detention
Receive alerts when trailers are detained at customer locations beyond what the contract allows. Use telematics data to set expectations with customers, minimize occurrences and bill accordingly when infractions occur.
Improve customer service
Get periodic updates when trailers are on the move and be automatically notified when they enter or leave specific locations to improve dispatch operations and provide accurate ETAs to customers. Give customers read-only access to specific fleet data to help them streamline load and unload cycles and cargo distribution.
Detect asset theft and facilitate recovery
Know where trailers are all the time. Get prompt alerts when unauthorized access is detected or when they deviate from normal routes. When theft occurs, smart telematic devices notify of tampering and report current and past location in order to facilitate recovery.
Protect cargo
Cargo theft is a serious problem for carriers everywhere. In addition to high insurance premiums and revenue losses, cargo theft can cause shippers to lose confidence in a carrier and pull their business as a result.
Theft can also hinder a fleet’s reputation and its ability to win new businesses. Telematics technology monitors cargo around the clock, notifying operators of tampering, unauthorized access or unscheduled loading and unloading to help fleets enable quick corrective action when issues are detected.
A better dispatch
Never send a driver to the wrong location or waste driving time. Accurate GPS location data ensures your trailer inventory records are always up to date so you can run a smooth dispatch operation. Seamlessly integrate trailer data into dispatch software from leading TMS vendors, ERP systems and other enterprise platforms to get up-to theminute trailer location from any application.
“We’ve already identified numerous areas within our operation where we will see immediate benefits in efficiency.
End-to-end visibility to the entire supply chain is the new expectation,
