Why It’s Time to Stop Shipping in the Dark: A Breakthrough in Cargo Package-Level Tracking
For decades, the logistics industry has talked about the need for package-level tracking — not just to locate cargo, but to monitor temperature, share live tracking with customers, and enhance cargo security.
Yet, even today, most cargo packages travel with no tracking, no condition monitoring, and no protection from theft.
Why Has It Been So Difficult?
Historically, package-level tracking has been held back by real challenges:
- Devices needed to be ultra-compact and thin, but that reduced battery life.
- Manual setup processes made deployment inefficient.
- Device costs were too high to scale.
- Return logistics for reusable devices were nonexistent.
As a result, even high-value cargo such as electronics, seafood, and pharmaceuticals is often shipped without any visibility or protection.
The Real Risk – And the Value at Stake
Let’s take a simple example from retail distribution:
- A pallet with 24 carton boxes of smartphones
- Each box holds 10 phones at $1,000 each
- That’s $240,000 worth of cargo per pallet
Securing that shipment for just 1% of its value ($2,400) might sound logical — but in reality, you don’t even need to spend that much.
FleetUp’s breakthrough item-level tracking solution offers security and visibility at a fraction of that cost — often under $10 per shipment, or less than 0.01% of the cargo value.
The Breakthrough Is Here
FleetUp is introducing a sleek, credit-card-sized GPS & temperature tracking device that changes the game:
- Ultra-thin & lightweight — fits into any package
- Long-lasting battery — supports long-haul tracking
- Scan-to-deploy via app or API — no manual setup
- Real-time location & temperature monitoring
- Live tracking link sharing with customers
- Automated shipment logging & recovery logistics
- Reusable or cost-effective as single-use
All this can be activated with a simple scan, linked to your shipment or invoice via API, and placed directly into the cargo — making deployment fast, scalable, and seamless.
Visibility Is No Longer Optional
