Smoother operations in the healthcare industry not only saves time and keeps costs low, it saves lives. If you’re unaware of where your shipments are or what condition they’re in, you’re risking financial loss and the health and well-being of many.
How Sensor-based Logistics Can Help
Cargo Signal brings a revolutionary level of oversight to the healthcare industry. The IoT-powered sensors that Cargo Signal attaches to global freight track real-time data about shipments, providing end-to-end visibility, security, and quality control. Our technology is supported by a Command Center staffed by logistics professionals who monitor your freight around the clock, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Prevent Pharmaceutical Spoilage
Pharmaceuticals in transit may spoil or become prone to damage due to mishandling or extreme weather events, resulting in costly reorders. Cargo Signal provides you with full transparency of your product while it’s being moved. Our automated alerts will let you know in real time if your shipment has become exposed to excessive light or unfavorable temperatures.
They’ll also signal you about unauthorized carrier dwell times and deviations from the route, ensuring that your cargo does not exceed the estimated delivery time and arrives without fear of having been on the road too long. If unexpected delays do arise, our Command Center will work to get your shipment to its destination in the timeliest fashion.
Protect High-Value Shipments
Whenever high-value medical equipment and supplies are moving from facility to facility, they’re at risk of damage or theft. Cargo Signal can help prevent your valuable assets from becoming compromised. If your shipment falls vulnerable to theft, Cargo Signal will sound the alarm and our Command Center will get authorities on the scene immediately to prevent loss.
Likewise, if expensive or life-saving equipment sustains impact, possible damage, mishandling, or improper placement, you’ll know in real time, allowing you to start problem-solving before you let down those depending on that shipment for treatment.
Take Control of Your Data and Inventory
If you’re still keeping track of your inventory manually, you’re leaving a lot of room for human error. Automatically tracking your shipments in real time with Cargo Signal gives you full visibility and increased control. You’ll know what’s already come in, what’s still in transit, and when you can expect the next shipment, eliminating inventory surpluses or shortages and allowing you to forecast your needs effectively.
