Road Transport Sector

Protecting your trailers and cargo

Hijacking and theft within the UK is still a significant threat to the UK road transport sector. According to truckpol, an intelligence unit established by the Metropolitan Police dedicated to collating and analysing road freight crime across the UK, the recorded value of vehicle and load theft during 2005 was almost £85 million.

Load theft accounted for more than 70% of the £85 million total
The average loss per incident, based on 3,117 reports, was £27,130
Theft of vehicle or theft from vehicle accounted for 39% and 32% respectively of the total number incidents
Vehicles carrying household goods, electronics and electrical equipment, and shoes and clothing were particularly targeted by thieves

ICTHINGS.COM combines pinpoint GPS technology with virtual security shields and motion sensors to protect trailers and cargo against the threat of theft. The compact nature of the ICTHINGS.COM solution, with its own long-life, battery-operated power source, enables operators to protect either the trailer or the cargo itself by simply concealing one of our innovative location units.

Unlike many of our competitors, the ICTHINGS.COM operates for up to three years uses just six AA batteries. The IC500e location device doesn’t require solar panels or bulky specialist battery units, which would not only make it difficult to conceal but also very costly.

Optimising your assets

Companies can get more from their trailer fleets by knowing exactly where they are, when they are needed. Remove time consuming searches for lost and misplaced trailers to optimise available resources and better manage maintenance requirements.

Analyse historical location and movement data to achieve improved asset utilisation, and potentially reduce your trailer fleet by more than five percent.

Ensure service and maintenance requirements are completed on-time and without complication

ICTHINGS.COM also possesses the flexibility to integrate with existing fleet and asset management processes and systems, to meet the precise needs of individual businesses and achieve maximum return on investment.
