Challenge	Ewals Cargo Care, a full-service logistics player, was facing challenges in maintaining real-time visibility of their shipments. The company, which handles approximately 2,750 shipments each day from 30 offices across 14 countries, was struggling with delays, port congestion, and the impact of the pandemic. Despite having equipped their own fleet of trucks with GPS, the company was unable to maintain a centralized platform to aggregate all road visibility data due to the use of different onboard telematics systems by their subcontractors. This lack of a central platform led to visibility gaps and inaccurate information on loading, delivery, delays, and dwell times. The company recognized the need for real-time shipment tracking capabilities to meet increasing competitive pressures and changing customer service level expectations. Read More

Shippeo’s platform is a self-learning system that takes historical information into account, analyzing the constants and the variations within it, to make the ETA on routes more accurate. The platform also allows Ewals to share position information, enabling them to manage off-duty trucks and easily find off-duty trailers. Read More Log in to view content
