Definition & Explanation

Real-time cargo tracking across multiple sites relies on GPS, RFID, and IoT sensors to monitor shipments from origin through final delivery. Freight forwarders and logistics providers deploy such distributed systems to flag delays, track environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, shock events), and trigger alerts when thresholds are breached. Cloud platforms consolidate data from loading points, transshipment hubs, and destinations into a single window—giving shippers and carriers visibility essential for high-value and perishable goods.
