Track, trace, and more: secure solutions for smarter Transport & Logistics

The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to enable new and evolving use cases. G+D’s innovative telematics services, devices and sensors, with their own built-in power and secure connectivity, permit seamless track-and-trace monitoring of non-powered logistics objects across road, sea, air, and rail. While these low-power, sustainable solutions are currently most visible in the management of global supply chains, their uses expand across healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and other areas as the Massive IoT era gathers momentum.

The IoT is transforming enterprise logistics

Today, global supply chains underpin 80% of world trade, supporting the livelihoods of over 450 million people. As transparency, cost efficiency, and sustainability become more important than ever before, the demand for smart logistics solutions grows exponentially. In 2022, the global IoT market in the transport and logistics sector reached $31 billion, a figure that’s projected to more than double by 2028, driven by innovations in IoT and smart telematics.

Supply chains are becoming increasingly globalized, which in turn exposes them to impacts from natural events, geopolitics, fuel price or availability, and other challenges. Resilient enterprises of every size need to know where their goods are and what condition they are in, across the supply chain. Delivering that capability includes providing the smartest and most sustainable low-power devices; seamless connectivity across networks, communication protocols, and borders; and the best data analytics platform for transparency. In other words, end-to-end (E2E) solutions.

As a full-service provider, G+D goes beyond hardware, delivering integrated solutions that enhance real-time visibility and fleet management across all modes of transportation.

At G+D, we provide a complete E2E solution for enterprise logistics, covering everything from real-time location tracking to advanced data analytics. Our Telematics-as-a-Service (TaaS) approach enables you to effortlessly monitor and manage your assets through integrated hardware, connectivity, and IoT platforms – all without the need for large upfront investment.

Secure connectivity and real-time visibility across the Massive IoT

Never lose sight of what matters, whether your goods are stuck at a border crossing, traveling through a conflict zone, or moving within a 2G network, LTE Cat-M1, or even satellite connectivity. Your business requires complete visibility over the entire process, so your logistics and operations can work more efficiently.

We provide secure solutions with global coverage for businesses operating in transport, shipping, telematics, logistics, aviation, and much more. Our GPS trackers work seamlessly across different types of networks, giving you real-time visibility over your logistics chain and ensuring that your goods are accounted for, no matter where they are.

G+D’s intermodal solutions, backed by 600+ global network agreements across 185 countries, ensure your operations run smoothly – whether on land, at sea, or in the air. Analyze the data from all your IoT devices on our secure, in-house logistics platform, allowing you to optimize routes, reduce operational costs, and improve decision-making.

Key benefits

  • Global coverage: Connect your devices across multiple networks and geographies with ease. 
  • 100% visibility: Track and monitor your goods at every stage of the journey, both indoors and outdoors. 
  • Seamless data integration: Collect and analyze data from various sources for better decision-making and efficiency. 
  • Security by design: Proven G+D security technology at the core of all our solutions.

End-to-End Asset Tracking

Navigate the future of logistics effortlessly with our intermodal telematics services for true end-to-end asset tracking. Transforming how businesses track, trace, and thrive.

As use cases evolve, so do our solutions

Designed for sustainability and longevity, robust GPS trackers from G+D are equipped with sensors that provide real-time data on location, acceleration, vibrations, temperature, and more. These network- and platform-agnostic devices offer various connectivity technologies to suit your specific use case, ensuring over a decade of reliable service with reduced maintenance and operational costs.

Unlock the power of your data with our smart E2E tracking system. Featuring an integrated telematics platform, you can determine the current position and movement of goods and containers worldwide, calculate storage time at stopovers, estimate time of arrival, and closely monitor the quality of transported goods.

Gain greater visibility by connecting your fleets, equipment, sites, and people. G+D’s TaaS offering fits a wide range of applications across multiple environments, ensuring your assets are tracked accurately and reliably:

  • On land: Among other IoT devices, we offer solar-charged industrial trackers for outdoor use on road and rail, for constant power and continual tracking.
  • By air: Track airport ground equipment and goods in-flight such as unit load devices (ULDs), pallets, and dollies with our versatile solutions. Take that capability into the air with devices with a built-in flight mode, automatically sleeping on take-off, and powering back up on landing.
  • By sea: Our container tracking system transparently determines the position and condition of goods around the world. Data from the automatic identification systems (AIS) – utilized by ships, offshore bases, and satellites worldwide – seamlessly integrates with information from base stations on shipping vessels and our own sensors to provide the in-depth insights you need. 

This comprehensive portfolio of secure track-and-trace services for efficient logistics management not only provides precise asset tracking but also delivers actionable insights, allowing you to streamline your operations and improve service delivery.
