Industry Overview – Logistics, Transport & Mobile Assets
Logistics, transport, and mobile service operations depend on tight delivery windows, disciplined driving behaviour, and reliable vehicle availability. Margins are often thin, and inefficiencies such as late arrivals, poor routing, excessive fuel use, or unauthorised vehicle activity can quickly erode profitability and customer trust.
In many fleets, operational decisions are still based on driver feedback, phone calls, or after-the-fact reports. This makes it difficult to verify what actually happened on the road, resolve disputes, or intervene before issues escalate. As customer expectations rise and compliance requirements increase, operators need objective, real-time data to manage fleets proactively rather than reactively.
IoT Solutions supports logistics companies, transport operators, and mobile service providers with practical, real-time fleet and asset visibility, helping them improve accountability, protect assets, and deliver more reliable services, particularly in dense, time-sensitive operating environments.
Key Operational Challenges in Logistics & Fleet Operations
Logistics and transport operators commonly face the following challenges:
Limited real-time visibility of fleet location and status, making it difficult to manage delays, missed time windows, or last-minute route changes.
Late arrivals and inconsistent service levels, leading to customer complaints, penalties, and loss of trust.
Fuel misuse or unexplained consumption, including inefficient driving, idling, or unauthorised refuelling.
Unauthorised use of company vehicles, such as private trips or side jobs, with no objective evidence to challenge it.
No clear accountability for traffic fines, accidents, or reckless driving, increasing overhead and management friction.
Poor utilisation of vehicles and mobile assets, with some vehicles overworked while others sit idle.
Reactive maintenance and unexpected breakdowns, caused by lack of visibility into vehicle usage patterns.
Cold-chain failures during transport, where temperature excursions go unnoticed until stock is rejected or wasted.
IoT Solutions for Logistics & Transport Fleets
We provide focused IoT solutions that give fleet owners and managers clear, defensible operational insight, not just location data.
Primary Solutions
Vehicle Fleet & Asset Location Tracking
Track vehicles, trailers, and mobile assets in real time to improve routing, verify job attendance, monitor driving behaviour, and introduce accountability across the fleet.
Temperature & Environmental Monitoring
Monitor temperature during transport to protect chilled and frozen goods, support HACCP compliance, and strengthen insurance and client claims.
Diesel Tank Management
Monitor depot fuel tanks and consumption trends to prevent losses, detect anomalies, and control one of the largest operating costs in transport operations.
Supporting Solutions
Industrial Generator Management
Monitor generators at depots, warehouses, or logistics hubs to ensure continuity of operations during power interruptions.
