Use Case
Multimodal Transport:
Seamless Logistics Tracking Thanks to Satellite IoT
Track your assets anywhere in the world. Discover how satellite IoT brings full visibility back to your supply chain.
At a glance
Issues
Lack of real-time visibility across the entire logistics chain. Tracking interruptions in dead zones not covered by terrestrial networks.
Solutions
Satellite or hybrid connectivity (satellite and terrestrial) enables uninterrupted tracking. Centralized data enhanced by smart sensors.
Impacts
Centralized, seamless traceability to reduce losses, optimize rotation, and speed up decision-making.
Issues
When a supply chain relies on multiple modes of transport, every break in connectivity becomes a point of vulnerability. Without real-time tracking, goods go missing, anomalies go unnoticed, breakdowns are detected too late, and costs skyrocket.
Tracking with Blind Spots
GSM coverage remains incomplete in many logistics areas (remote roads, secondary railways, ports), leaving operators with no visibility over their assets.
Damage to Sensitive Goods
A break in the cold chain or an undetected container opening can result in the loss of sensitive goods, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Financial Losses
Every year, global logistics suffers enormous losses: $50 billion are lost due to theft, damaged goods, and handling errors.
Tools for a Complex Logistics Challenge
Most tracking solutions today rely on terrestrial technologies that only cover part of the logistics chain. GPS trackers can lack precision. GSM networks don’t reach maritime zones, isolated railways, or remote areas. The result: fragmented visibility, lost data, and broken traceability. In a context of tight deadlines and slim margins, this lack of visibility leads to losses, delays, and blind decision-making.
When Lack of Visibility Becomes an Operational Risk
Breaks in the cold chain, container theft, or handling errors are often detected too late due to the absence of real-time tracking. Carriers cannot anticipate incidents. End customers receive damaged or delayed goods. And logistics managers lack the information needed to optimize flows. Without continuous traceability tools, blind spots become a major Achilles’ heel in logistics performance.
Solutions
A New Generation of IoT Tracking for Seamless Logistics
Global & Continuous Coverage
Uninterrupted, centralized tracking—even at sea or in remote areas—regardless of the number of service providers, thanks to satellite connectivity adapted to multimodal transport.
Smart
Monitoring
Collect all your data through satellite connectivity and multi-sensor IoT devices: temperature, humidity, shocks, vibrations, braking, unauthorized openings, etc.
Seamless Integration
Compatible with existing logistics tools, the solution integrates smoothly into your current ecosystem for rapid deployment without disrupting operations.
Sovereign Technology
Independent French solution, ensuring data security and technological control.
Impacts
Tangible Results at Every Step of the Supply Chain
With satellite connectivity dedicated to multimodal transport, operators finally benefit from continuous traceability—even in the most remote areas. Data is available in near real-time, centralized, and actionable.
These capabilities bring real operational transformation:
- Multimodal transport players collaborate more effectively through real-time information sharing
- Teams can immediately respond to incidents and make informed decisions
- Losses and damage risks are significantly reduced thanks to early anomaly detection
Satellite IoT also helps maximize asset usage. By knowing exactly where equipment—wagons, containers, trailers—is located and its condition, companies optimize rotations, anticipate maintenance, and avoid costly downtime. On a large scale, these operational gains translate into a direct competitive edge.
Global and Centralized Visibility
Données fiables, centralisées sur une seule plateforme et continues sur toute la supply chain, pour une prise de décision rapide et éclairée.
Loss
Reduction
Fewer disputes, fewer lost or damaged goods, thanks to real-time tracking.
Increased Responsiveness
Instant alerts in case of anomalies to intervene before an incident occurs.
Asset
Optimization
Locate underused equipment to better organize flows.
