The “So What Factor”?
Why is this Different
…
About us
Technology
Industries
• Real control for the terminal operator…no
dependence on 3rd party
• No power required. less infrastructure costs
• Faster to deploy…5-10 days, get ROI quickly
• Manages all reefer containers…not just modem
equipped..10-30% of containers on a terminal cannot
be monitored with power line because they are not
modem equipped
• Managed Service option…no capital costs
• New service offering…system tracks en-route
containers…meaning terminal can sell service to
track outside of facility to generate additional
revenue.
• Can be combined with container and genset
tracking for total asset visibility
