Geo-Fencing in Logistics

Geo-fencing in logistics is a CargoWise tool that employs virtual borders, or “fences,” to monitor and track cargo movements. These digital perimeters enable logistics organizations to get alerts and messages when a shipment enters or exits a certain location. Setting geographical limits allows companies to boost the precision of tracking and visibility of their shipments across the supply chain. Geo-fencing provides real-time visibility into freight movement, hence improving security, compliance, and operational efficiency.

This technology improves logistics management by guaranteeing that goods follow the correct path and arrive within the scheduled delivery windows. It is especially beneficial for high-value or time-sensitive commodities because any departure from the planned path could cause delays or increased danger. Geo-fencing also helps firms manage regulatory compliance by ensuring shipments follow the proper transit routes and boundaries. Companies may expedite logistics operations and make better decisions by combining geo-fencing with CargoWise’s real-time data capabilities.
