Smart Technology Delivers Supply Chain Visibility, Security and Sustainability
You can’t manage what you can’t measure, and you can’t measure what you can’t see. ORBCOMM’s industry-pioneering technology offers comprehensive fleet visibility so you can reduce costs, boost efficiency, protect cargo and make data-driven decisions. No matter how rugged the road, ORBCOMM’s transportation supply chain solutions empower you to turn data into action.
In today’s competitive market, fleet operators face pressure to maximize uptime, optimize fuel consumption and ensure cargo safety in the supply chain. ORBCOMM’s technology is designed to meet these demands with features like location tracking, geofences, cargo sensors, environmental monitoring for reefers and predictive maintenance alerts, enabling you to spot issues before they impact your bottom line.
Where data drives decisions
Our solutions don’t just collect data—they provide actionable insights. By enabling the analysis of patterns across assets, ORBCOMM technology empowers your team to implement proactive strategies, reduce unexpected breakdowns and enhance regulatory compliance. With customizable alerts, you can react to issues quickly, minimizing delays and safeguarding valuable cargo.
Technology that combats rising industry costs
Everybody knows that costs are rising across the supply chain. ORBCOMM customer Continental Express has seen the effects, according to Continental’s Vice President Bradley Gottemoeller. “Our costs are up over 20% from last year, and more than that two years ago,” Gottemoeller says. “Fuel, reefer unit parts, trailers sitting for a year because parts are on back order, you name it.”
Continental uses ORBCOMM technology to reduce costs. “I remember when I was young, my dad would have people physically check trailers” he says. “We still rely on driver inspections, of course, but remote monitoring makes it so much easier. It saves us significant time and money, which we can spend elsewhere.”
ORBCOMM’s comprehensive temperature management technology can also help reduce claim losses caused by temperature damage in reefer cargo. In the first year after deploying ORBCOMM’s solution, industry-leading reefer fleet C.R. England saw total claims go down by 44%, for savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Whether you’re managing reefers, dry vans or both, ORBCOMM helps streamline supply chain logistics with pinpoint accuracy, saving time and reducing costs. Plus, with our unique dual-mode connectivity options, you’re covered wherever your fleet goes—even beyond cellular range.
Our solutions empower fleets to operate with complete visibility, efficiency and safety in a world that demands more every day. Reduce risk, increase uptime and maximize resources with smart tracking and intelligent data insights. This not only drives the bottom line for fleet operators but also contributes to safer roads, more reliable deliveries, and reduced environmental impact—ultimately fostering a more connected and sustainable supply chain.
