Increasing security. Automating processes. Lowering fleet operating costs. Improving asset utilization. Today, the shipping industry faces many new challenges in managing inventory levels to improve customer service and provide timely visibility into the shipment status of containers, chassis, railcars and trucks - whether these assets are moved by rail, road or water.

The SkyBitz GLS platform offers the shipping industry a cost-effective alternative to traditional RFID tags or event-based scanner tracking technology for containers, chassis, railcars and trailers.

The SkyBitz satellite-based GLS platform provides position location as well as sophisticated data communication capabilities. If freight is tampered with in transit, sensitive to light or thermal changes or exposed to nuclear or chemical agents while en route, SkyBitz can alert the customer in real time. In addition, shipping customers will, for the first time, have direct Web-based access to precisely locate their assets and validate the schedule.

The SkyBitz GLS system's easy installation and long battery life keep maintenance cost to a minimum, outperforming other solutions.
