Asset tracking is the simplest way to make life easier for those managing skip & RoRo operations. It doesn’t take much time or effort to get set up and once you’ve done so, the everyday challenges of managing hundreds or thousands of containers will become a weight off your shoulders.
Challenges created by untracked containers
- Difficulty locating skips – having to put a vehicle on the road to find them costing time & money.
- Time consuming inventory checks – error-prone due to manual data entry.
- Low skip availability – containers never available to win new business / serve existing customers.
- Slow movers – difficult to identify or know how long they have been in their locations.
- Drivers not confirming stages of the delivery – data in system gets out of sync.
- Capital expenditure – having to purchase new containers and not knowing why.
- Theft – difficult to identify & recover.
