Trailer tracking and load carrier management for swap bodies, pallet cages and pools

Load-carrier pools only work if it is clear how many units are genuinely in circulation – and where they stand. In practice the pool spreads across yards, customers and subcontractors, and the stock figure becomes an estimate. Bluetooth tags on the unit plus worldwide positioning over 4G LTE turn that estimate into a number: dwell times, cycle times and whereabouts become visible without anyone keeping lists.

What is tracked

  • Trailers and semi-trailers

    Units standing between yards and customers – rarely where they were planned to be.

  • Swap bodies

    High unit counts in circulation, spread across many locations.

  • Mesh boxes and pallets

    Classic pool load carriers with a high risk of shrinkage.

  • Roll containers

    Carriers that travel all the way into the store and are meant to come back.

What it delivers

  • Dwell times become visibleHow long a unit really sits at the customer is measurable instead of estimated.
  • Pool size matches demandOnce you know the cycle times, fewer units deliver the same service.
  • Shrinkage surfacesCarriers that never came back are traceable instead of written off.
  • Handovers are documentedWhen a unit went out and came back is on record – without paper.
