Multimodal Transport Monitoring Solution

Industry Background

Multimodal transport integrates water-land, rail-highway, and container door-to-door shipping. Cargo moves across two or more transport modes, requiring transshipment at ports, rail freight yards, and container terminals.

Key Challenges

Fragmented Accountability at Transshipment: Relying on paper waybills and manual handovers across different carrier entities makes liability hard to isolate during transshipment.

Blind Spots in Transit: Waterway and rail segments often lack continuous positioning capabilities, leaving cargo blind spots.

Container Yard Vulnerabilities: Containers parked at terminals are vulnerable to unauthorized door openings or cargo swaps during layovers, complicating loss recovery.

Solution Overview

Seals containers or bulk cargo units at the source, providing cross-mode lock control and recording strict liability handovers at every transshipment junction.

Ideal Use Cases

Water-land transport (Highway-Inland river / Maritime-Highway)
Rail-highway combined transport
Full-container and consolidated multimodal shipping
Import/export port-to-door and door-to-port logistics

Solution Highlights

Transshipment Liability Handovers

Sealing and unsealing logs at transfer points ensure crystal-clear, traceable accountability across distinct transport modes.

Unified Multimodal Waybill Tracking

Links highway, railway, and waterway segments under a single multimodal tracking number for complete visibility.

Offline Data Caching & Auto-Sync

When cellular signals drop in rail or marine zones, locks locally cache statuses and trajectories, automatically syncing upon network recovery.

Terminal Yard Detention Control

Electronic geofencing triggers automated alerts for prolonged container dwell times or unauthorized movements within yards.
