Tracking Cargo Around The World

Developments in multinational trade have increased the need for hightened security measures to protect cargo. Each day millions of dollars in cargo gets lost, delayed, or stolen. This short term loss has long term effects as it leads to lost sales, friction between customers and suppliers and a mistrust of the supply chain. Tracking represents an additional layer of security to ensure that the goods reach their desired location in a timely and effective fashion.

Studies indicate that 70 percent of all executives are not satisfied with the way their cargo is handled. In the transportation industry alone, over $40 billion a year is lost due to the theft of cargo in transit. Large corporations lose hordes of equipment annually due to theft, employee turnover, and misplacement. Lightning GPS strives to remedy this obvious problem.
