Enabling secure and efficient logistics operations

Modern transportation and logistics operations face increasing complexity, driven by global supply chains, rising consumer expectations, and evolving regulatory demands. To stay competitive, mobility providers and logistics operators must enhance cargo security, optimize fleet performance, and improve sustainability efforts.

The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a central role in this transformation. G+D delivers connected logistics solutions that enable real-time tracking, secure connectivity, and data-driven insights, even for non-powered logistics objects across road, sea, air, and rail. These low-power, sustainable technologies integrate telematics services, devices and sensors with their own power supply and built-in secure connectivity. While currently most prominent in global supply chain management, their applications extend across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and other areas as the Massive IoT era gathers momentum.

Addressing the critical challenges in logistics and transport

Protecting cargo and data in a connected world

With the rise of IoT and digital platforms, securing logistics operations has never been more critical. Threats such as data breaches, cargo theft, and geopolitical disruptions demand robust encryption, real-time monitoring, and end-to-end security measures. G+D provides secure global connectivity across 185 countries, ensuring that logistics providers maintain full visibility and control over their assets - whether crossing borders, navigating conflict zones, or moving through remote areas with limited network access.

Through secure IoT connectivity, logistics providers gain access to real-time tracking and telematics data, allowing them to proactively mitigate risks and respond to operational challenges. G+D’s GPS-enabled tracking solutions offer tamper-proof authentication and automated alerts, ensuring that high-value shipments remain accounted for at every stage of transit.

Proven logistic solutions in action

G+D’s IoT solutions are trusted by 8 of the top 10 logistics companies in Central Europe and are currently in operation with over 100,000 tracking devices. We process over 2.5 billion precise positions annually and trigger more than 5 million notifications per month, ensuring availability of real-time, actionable data. Our customers have experienced productivity gains of up to 40% and significant cost savings, making G+D the partner of choice for end-to-end logistics optimization. 

Real-time tracking for enhanced visibility

In global logistics, real-time visibility is essential. A lack of accurate tracking data can lead to costly delays, inefficient fleet management, and supply chain disruptions. G+D’s IoT-enabled tracking solutions integrate GPS, sensors, and multi-network connectivity (2G, LTE Cat-M1, satellite) to provide uninterrupted asset monitoring across all transport modes - land, air, and sea.

Secure monitoring across all transport modes

G+D’s intermodal tracking solutions ensure continuous, real-time insights into shipments across multiple transportation environments:

  • On land: Industrial solar-powered trackers provide continuous tracking for road and rail logistics while optimizing energy use.
  • By air: Smart tracking devices monitor airport ground equipment and airborne shipments, automatically entering flight mode when in transit and reactivating upon landing.
  • By sea: Advanced container tracking systems integrate AIS (Automatic Identification System) data from satellites, vessels, and IoT sensors to provide precise location monitoring and predictive analytics for maritime shipments.

These global tracking solutions empower logistics providers to optimize routes, reduce delays, and make data-driven operational decisions, improving efficiency and minimizing disruptions.

Measurable improvements through smart logistics solutions

Digitizing logistics operations with G+D’s technology enables:

  • Up to 25% fuel savings through optimized route planning and fleet efficiency.
  • Up to 10-15% improvement in fleet productivity within the first year.
  • Seamless compliance with ESG regulations, allowing logistics providers to align their operations with industry sustainability standards.

These measurable efficiency gains support corporate sustainability goals while reducing overall operational costs, making logistics operations more resilient, cost-effective, and future-ready.

We enable customers worldwide to increase their visibility, productivity and sustainability by digitalizing logistics processes.
