Shipping Case Tracking Prevents Equipment Loss

Your company owns valuable assets; perhaps expensive instrumentation, field service equipment, or show materials for those all too important industry events.  This gear travels upon demand to job site across the country.  To protect the equipment you’ll purchase ruggedized cases.  Question is who will look after the cases?  It's time to explore shipping case tracking.

Transporting expensive equipment to job sites is simply fraught with danger.  Yes the equipment is physically protected, but how assured are you the equipment will arrive in a timely fashion?  Will a preoccupied clerk accidentally misroute or misplace the equipment before it arrives?  Will equipment carelessly left in a vehicle be stolen?  These might be infrequent cases, but even everyday mishaps such as the failure to update an assets location in your firm’s inventory management system have tangible costs.

Liabilities associated with lost, misplaced or delayed equipment transportation are responsible for significant financial impact:

• Lost revenue opportunities
• Larger equipment inventories
• Rising insurance premiums
• Diminished staff efficiency

Using specifically designed location-enabled tracking services can dramatically reduce the financial cost of managing field deployed equipment, while in transit or storage.  GPSit’s web based TrackFusion™ tracking application and Assisted GPS (A-GPS) trackers have the ability to track a equipment in real time, indoors and outdoors.  Features such as Geofencing, included in TrackFusion, enable users to receive automatic alerts if the cases have deviated from allowed locations or transportation routes.
