Cargo at Rest is Cargo at Risk: Securing Freight During Downtime

Cargo at rest is cargo at risk, making downtime and unmonitored transit handoffs the primary targets for organized pilferage. Disconnected systems that only report basic GPS location inherently create blind spots during these critical stops. FleetUp mitigates this threat by integrating dynamic geofencing, dwell-time analysis, and wireless door sensors into a Single Pane of Glass.

The Vulnerability of Stops and Transfers

Cargo theft does not happen at random; it strikes when visibility drops at truck stops or during yard transfers. Instead of teams manually guessing if a parked truck is secure, automated geofences trigger instant notifications if a trailer remains stationary for too long or if doors open in unauthorized zones, eliminating dangerous gaps in oversight.

Implementing Dynamic Geofencing and Dwell Alerts

The platform utilizes cloud-based dynamic geofencing combined with the configurable custom rule engine. Users can program boolean logic (e.g., “If door opens AND vehicle is outside a safe zone”) to trigger automated push/SMS notifications, tying telematics data directly into exception management workflows.

Real-Time Control Across Every Supply Chain Handoff

FleetUp is relied upon by GardaWorld, one of North America’s largest security providers, to deliver mission-critical visibility without downtime across its highly specialized, risk-sensitive federal and enterprise fleets.

Preventing Pilferage Before It Escalates

• Dwell Time Monitoring: Empowers teams to monitor the exact duration a vehicle or trailer spends inside a designated geofence to prevent excessive dwell time.
• Constant Connectivity: Real-time GPS and door state updates are transmitted securely via API to a single pane of glass every 10 seconds.
• Financial Protection: Protects fleets from an industry average of over $200,000 in losses per theft incident.
