Installation and Scalability
A Trailer Tracking Solution should be simple and quick to install, and easy to scale as your fleet grows
Any trailer tracking solution that is simple and quick to install means minimal disruption to your operations. In a small to medium-sized fleet, every minute counts, and a lengthy installation process can lead to downtime, which in turn affects productivity and revenue. A quick installation process ensures reduced downtime and immediate ROI, making it one of the best trailer tracking solutions for small fleets.
A hassle-free verification process ensures that fleet managers and technicians can quickly confirm that each tracking device is working correctly. This simplicity reduces the risk of user error and ensures that your tracking data is accurate and reliable.
Real-Time Tracking and Alerts
Event-Based Reporting for Irregularities: Real-time trailer status is crucial in fleet management. Event-based reporting ensures fleet managers are aware of anomalies immediately, maintaining operational efficiency.
Tracking Motion, Arrival and Departure Status: Optimizes logistics and reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
Tracking Door Open/Close Events: Enhances security by preventing unauthorized access and ensuring cargo integrity.
Tracking Cargo Events (Loaded/Empty): Optimizes load assignments, reduces empty runs and improves resource utilization.
Tamper Alert Notification Service: Notifies fleet managers of unauthorized tracking device removal, providing an extra layer of protection and enabling swift intervention.
Cargo and Asset Management
Real-time visibility into cargo and door status is essential for protecting your goods and optimizing your fleet. Knowing when doors open, whether a trailer is loaded or empty and the condition of your cargo empowers you to make informed decisions.
Accurate mileage tracking helps maintain fleet health and efficiency. By monitoring mileage, you can schedule preventative maintenance, optimize fuel consumption and extend the life of your trailers, ultimately saving you money.
For temperature-sensitive goods, dedicated cargo sensors provide vital insights into cargo conditions, ensuring product integrity throughout the supply chain.
Durability and Integration: Built to Last, Work Smarter
A recent study found that fleets using durable robust tracking devices saw a 25% reduction in downtime.
Your tracking equipment should be as tough as your trailers. Durable devices with long-lasting batteries mean fewer interruptions and lower maintenance costs. Plus, seamless integration with your TMS streamlines operations and boosts efficiency. It's a win-win for your bottom line.
User Experience
User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive interface means quicker adoption and fewer errors. Fleet managers can easily navigate the system, making it simpler to train new employees and reducing the chances of mistakes. This leads to smoother operations and more efficient use of resources, ultimately boosting productivity.
Rugged Hardware: Rugged devices can handle extreme conditions which means fewer breakdowns and longer device lifespans. This reliability ensures that your tracking system remains operational under all conditions, giving you peace of mind and reducing maintenance costs.
Advanced Features: Power Your Fleet
GPS Trailer Tracking: Real-time GPS tracking is your secret weapon for route optimization and security. Know exactly where your trailers are with precise location data, while also optimizing routes to save time and fuel. This leads to timely deliveries and improved customer satisfaction, making your fleet more efficient and reliable.
Intermodal Flexibility: Tracking that supports both horizontal and vertical containers adds flexibility. This capability allows you to monitor a wider variety of cargo types. As a result, you can better utilize your assets, streamline operations and meet diverse customer needs.
Efficiency and ROI
Real-time data is your fleet's superpower. Near-instant updates on trailer location, cargo status and driver behavior empower you to make split-second decisions that impact delivery rates.
Camera technology adds an extra layer of protection. With real-time monitoring, you can proactively address issues, boosting customer satisfaction and protecting your bottom line.

Compliance and Security
Fleet managers can rely camera technology supported by AI to monitor for unusual patterns and automatically flag potential issues, making it easier to maintain security compliance. This, of course is an optional feature. Wireless door sensors ensure that fleet managers can quickly address any unauthorized access, significantly reducing the risk of cargo loss.
Customer Support
A responsive and knowledgeable support team is essential. Look for a support team that offers 24/7 assistance and expert guidance.
