Transport and Logistics

Asset tracking and loss prevention are two of the biggest challenges faced by the Logistics industry,
especially when vehicles and cargo are traversing across remote regions
lacking in cellular coverage.

Ground Control has been solving the remote connectivity issues of Transport and Logistics organizations
for over 20 years, building bespoke satellite IoT and asset tracking solutions
to help keep people and cargo connected across the world.

Our Services for the Transport and Logistics Industry

Track Cargo Anywhere with Satellite Connectivity

Global Coverage for Lone Workers White

Global Coverage

Keep connected to your remote teams and vehicles, and monitor assets and sensors in real-time with affordable, reliable satellite connectivity. We develop our own satellite tracking and IoT hardware and collaborate with trusted partners to provide the best combination of devices and airtime.

Who Uses Ground Control's Satellite Solutions for Logistics?

Fleet Managers

Satellite enabled asset trackers and vehicle sensors provide fleet managers with insights into driver behaviour, refrigerated cargo status, and telemetry information, such as vehicle wear and tear and fuel efficiency. This data reduces mechanical breakdowns, safeguards drivers and ensures deliveries arrive on time and in good condition.

Compliance Officers

Moving vehicles and cargo from country to country requires forward planning to ensure regulatory compliance. Real-time insights from satellite enabled asset trackers and sensors allows for increased transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain, and timely provision of driver and cargo documentation to reduce delays at borders and ports.

Operations Analysts

Data collection from satellite-enabled sensors and asset trackers provides Operations Analysts with comprehensive insights into every aspect of the delivery journey, which is crucial for identifying inefficiencies, optimizing processes, and improving the cost-effectiveness of logistics operations.

Satellite Connectivity for Cargo and Logistics

Stay connected and informed with real-time data updates on cargo shipments, port operations and transport situations anywhere on the globe. Equip your vehicles and in-transit facilities with reliable satellite IoT and asset tracking devices, paired with competitive airtime plans and our powerful IoT platform, Cloudloop.
