Cargo Signal and Automotive: Driving Towards Solutions

Cargo Signal can help you efficiently monitor the whereabouts and security of your shipments to keep deliveries and production schedules on time.

A manufacturing facility is a whirlwind of moving parts. From shipping in the necessary components and assembling the vehicles to managing inventory and shipping out the final product to dealerships, there is a lot to keep tabs on. Without proper oversight of the comings and goings of materials, you are likely to experience inefficiencies in production and financial losses.

Here are just a few common challenges we see in the automotive industry:

• A surplus or shortage of inventory on manufacturing floor
• Theft or damage of high-value components, confidential prototypes, or intellectual property
• Inability to provide customers with updates about their shipments

How Sensor-based Logistics Can Help

• Improve your inventory management, forecasting, and production schedule
• Secure parts and product in transit against theft and damage
• Global visibility and real-time alerts of supply chain flows

Expeditors’ visibility solutions are powered by Cargo Signal’s sensor-based technology. Pairing your part-level or ASN data with our sensor-based logistics, we’re able to provide you with real-time visibility to your goods in transit. Cargo Signal’s Command Center is watching your shipments 24/7 and is there to mitigate risk and intervene in in a crisis.

Optimized Inventory Forecasting

Without full visibility to your inventory, you can’t plan your production schedule effectively. Tracking your shipments in real time gives you that control. You’ll know what’s already come in, what’s still in transit, and when you can expect a crucial part. With Cargo Signal, you’ll be able to keep an eye on things and remain flexible.

Protected Shipments

Moving high-value components or priceless engineering prototypes makes them vulnerable to theft or damage. With Cargo Signal, our alerts will let you know the moment an issue occurs, so you stay informed with real-time visibility, hold the responsible party accountable, and can start problem-solving right away. 

Elevated Customer Service

Without the means to effectively keep track of inventory and protect your freight in transit, you’re not only putting your supply chain at risk but your company’s reputation too. Your customers are depending on you to deliver their vehicles on time and in pristine condition. Cargo Signal’s team keeps you informed about damage, theft, or delay before it becomes your customer’s problem. If something goes wrong with your shipment, Cargo Signal will automatically alert you and your chosen stakeholders with real-time visibility to protect your brand.
