Our Services for the Transport and Logistics Industry

Track Cargo Anywhere with Satellite Connectivity

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.

Real Time Tracking
Vehicles, their drivers and their cargo can be continuously tracked across borders and in any remote location, whether by rail, road, sea or air. Real time tracking means should the weather conditions change or a route is closed, operations can quickly adapt to keep deliveries flowing.

Instant Alerts
In logistics, every second counts. Receive real-time alerts on shipment events, from collection to delivery and every point in between. Geofencing alerts can detect if a shipment has deviated from a planned schedule or route to enable a quick response.

Tracking Platform
Cloudloop Tracking provides real-time monitoring of your logistics operations, improving in-transit traceability through our cloud-based platform. For added flexibility, our APIs can integrate this data into your preferred operations management system.
Recommended Devices:

Asset Management:
The RockBLOCK Mini and RockFLEET leverage the Iridium network, offering global pole-to-pole coverage with low latency.
SmartOne C is compact, cost-effective and uses the Globalstar network of LEO satellites.
The Orbcomm ST 2100 and ST 6100 utilizes the Viasat satellite network of Geostationary satellites.

Who Uses Ground Control's Satellite Solutions for Logistics?

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.

Logistics Coordinators
With real-time satellite asset tracking, ensuring the right cargo arrives at the right destination and at the right time becomes much more accurate and efficient. Cloudloop, our IoT platform, provides detailed location data to visually track shipments from collection to destination, and every point in between, anywhere on Earth.

Depot Managers
Satellite-enabled sensors and surveillance can help prevent unauthorized access and theft of vehicles and cargo at remote depot locations. Additionally, they support out-of-hours operations for delayed deliveries and monitor depot facilities to meet capacity demands and ensure site safety. This technology provides comprehensive security and operational oversight in remote settings.

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.
