Safefreight Makes Fleet Administration Easy with Custom Technology Solutions

The application of various technologies and systems developed and supported by Safefreight are effective management and security tools for a variety of fleets including private or commercial truck carriers, rail, marine, utility and government fleets.

Our cargo security solutions can be applied to any cargo conveyances, including trailer, railroad car, construction equipment or shipping container, to provide real-time risk mitigation. For details on how our technology can be applied in the transporation industry, please read on.

Fleet Management

Access to mission critical data quickly and wirelessly may mean the difference between profit and loss for your company. Safefreight’s SmartFleet® solution opens a new world of fleet management that gives you the tools to monitor the status and whereabouts of trucks, delivery vans, heavy equipment, leased vehicles and marine vessels.

You get a solution that offers a robust communications and position-tracking platform that supports a more productive fleet – whether it’s to improve billable miles or tractor to trailer ratios.

Transportation Security

Safefreight takes a holistic, collaborative approach to solving your challenges related to cargo security and the fleet assets that transport them. Safefreight Technology has developed solutions that promise to enhance not only security and reduce risk, but that also provide sufficient returns on investment through more productive operations and safety to motor carriers.

At the core of Safefreight’s SmartFleet® technology are wireless communications and GPS tracking and a perimeter of security provided by our onboard security system - SecurityGuard™. Safefreight’s scalable, open architecture allows for the integration of additional security and productivity functionality.

Transportation Logistics

Safefreight’s SmartFleet® fleet management solution is a logistics information system that incorporates customer-defined business objectives. You know immediately when rules - such as vehicle speed, idle limits, unauthorized door openings or route deviation - are broken.

Strategic fleet information will help you improve supply chain management by allowing you to:

• Improve customer metrics by providing your customer with accurate status and location updates.
• Reward drivers who keep idling and out of route miles to a minimum
• Minimize losses due to theft or spoilage with onboard sensors that notify you immediately when your assets may become compromised.
• Optimize asset use through visibility and control supported by real-time position mapping of mobileassets.
• Remotely manage temperature and onboard security (like changing access codes for the keypad) from any web-enabled device.
• Improve asset maintenance through predictive and preventative maintenance through Safefreight’s onboard working hour feature that observes and identifies key milestones and maintenance thresholds.

GPS Freight Tracking

If you’re in the business of transporting high value or high risk cargo,  knowing the location of every bag, package, box or pallet is an important business driver. Reducing the number of lost or misplaced packages and improving inventory control supports just-in-time deliveries and ultimately, better customer service.

Safefreight helps you take control with the SecurityGuard™ tracking and security hardware. Through satellite  and cellular technology, SecurityGuard™ can communicate its exact location at any given time.  Because of it's small size, SecurityGuard™ can work in a large envelope or an intermodal container - and everything in between.

Container Security

Containerized shipping is a critical component of global trade because about 90 percent of the world’s trade is transported in cargo containers. Safefreight’s team of experienced consultants has focused efforts on applying our technology to the development of an advanced container security device.

Cargo Security

Safefreight’s GPS security system - SmartFleet® - integrates trailer security and tracking SecurityGuard™ and EnCompass™ - with SmartFleet® Manager internet software along with its planning and support services to provides a robust solution for cargo security. A combination of onboard alarms, sensors, wireless monitoring and tracking offers the best available means to respond to cargo theft and security threats while also providing asset management capabilities.

Trailer Security

Safefreight Technology has developed a wireless trailer alarm system - SecurityGuard™ - that will keep both trailers and cargo safe. Our patented trailer security system has been designed  so that you can monitor and manage the security and productivity of your trailers – whether you own one or one thousand.

SecurityGuard™ functions similar to a car alarm, but is designed to provide additional features and advanced communication capabilities. The system uses sensors that, when tripped, sets off a local alarm and communicates an immediate alert to dispatch through cellular communication. Safefreight’s trailer security solutions have been designed for application to a variety of trailers including commercial transportation trailers, utility trailers, motorcycle cargo trailers, recreational vehicle trailers and boat trailers. 

Homeland Logistics

While governments have taken steps to implement programs to help secure the homeland, transportation industry security remains at risk. Safefreight Technology has developed its SmartFleet® System that provides complete situational awareness and control of fleet assets to mitigate homeland security threats related to transportation.

Safefreight's SmartFleet® System provides critical security and location information with monitoring, control and reporting capability.

This unique technology offers the powerful combination of onboard deterrence and immobilization in addition to instant notification and location monitoring. It effectively reduces risk while also allowing fleet managers to more efficiently operate their fleets.
