Unlocking New Revenue Streams with IoT
At its core, IoT technology is about connecting physical assets to the digital world. For freight forwarders, this means turning every container, pallet, and box into a smart asset that communicates its status in real time. Imagine knowing the exact location, temperature, and condition of your cargo at any moment, without having to rely on manual checks or outdated systems.
With Moeco’s disposable trackers, you can offer your clients something truly valuable: peace of mind. These trackers monitor key metrics like location, temperature, shocks, humidity, and light exposure, providing real-time insights that can be accessed from anywhere. By offering this level of visibility, you’re not just transporting goods — you’re providing a premium service that clients are willing to pay extra for.
Earning Up to $800 Extra Per Container
The added value of IoT doesn’t stop at customer satisfaction. It directly translates into additional revenue. Freight forwarding companies that partner with Moeco have seen significant financial benefits, earning up to $800 extra per container. By offering IoT-enabled services as an add-on, you can charge a premium for enhanced visibility and data insights.
These services don’t just appeal to large enterprises — they’re increasingly in demand by small and medium-sized businesses looking to optimize their supply chains. Whether it’s ensuring the freshness of perishable goods or maintaining the integrity of sensitive electronics, the ability to monitor and report on cargo conditions in real time is a powerful selling point.
Real-World Success Stories
A mining company based in Latin America faced significant challenges when shipping cargo from remote locations with little to no connectivity. It was imperative for their solution to have robust hardware capable of maintaining reception in distant areas, logging every data point even while at sea, and ensuring device operability across the globe. Moeco provided exactly what they needed. Our solution ensured the company’s temperature and humidity-sensitive cargo was always monitored throughout its journey, regardless of connectivity limitations. By leveraging Moeco’s IoT technology, the mining company not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced the reliability of their supply chain, leading to increased client trust and satisfaction.
Another customer operates short-term cargo deliveries across southern and central Africa, regions characterized by vast rural areas and suboptimal connectivity coverage. To meet their needs, Moeco’s team redeveloped our built-in antenna to ensure reception even in the most distant locations. In areas with no connectivity at all, our devices function as data loggers, capturing cargo data on-the-go and storing up to three months’ worth of information. This capability allowed the freight forwarder to maintain comprehensive monitoring of their shipments, providing valuable data that could be shared with clients. The enhanced tracking and reporting not only differentiated them from competitors but also opened up new revenue opportunities by offering premium services.
