Shipment Visibility: Shipping Companies & 3PLs

As service providers, shipping companies and 3PLs are expected to move their clients’ shipments on time and without incident. An incident in-transit is usually not detected until final delivery and by then the only option is to file a claim and apologize to your customer. Moog Crossbow’s GEO device can now give shipping companies the ability to maintain near real-time visibility on location and condition of their customer’s shipment. Shippers and software developers are also seeing the benefits of Moog Crossbow’s technology.

You depend on commercial airlines, trucking companies and others to provide information about the shipments you tender to them on behalf of your customer. However, the quality and timing of shipment tracking data can be inconsistent or incomplete. In addition, your carrier partners usually do not have visibility on the actual condition of the shipment. They can not notify you in near real-time that your customer’s shipment has been tampered or compromised due to temperature, shock or tilted beyond approved degree.

Moog Crossbow’s GEO II device allows you to track the location and condition of any shipment without change to your processes and does not require collaboration with your transportation service providers. In addition, it will bring added value to your customer because now you can enhance the quality and responsiveness of shipment tracking visibility to your customer. So when your customers ask you to move shipments that have a higher vulnerability to theft or environmental and handling conditions, you can offer in-transit visibility for their peace of mind.
