Background

In 2022, CargoNet recorded a total of 1,778 supply chain risk events throughout the United States and Canada, reflecting a 15% year-over-year increase. These risk events, as defined by CargoNet, involved either the theft of one or more heavy commercial vehicles or the theft of cargo within the vehicle. According to their estimates, $223 million worth of cargo was stolen, with an average value per incident amounting to $214,104—a notable increase of 24% compared to the previous year.

Positioning Universal’s connected car devices have geofence and “after hour” alerts which provide immediate notifications if assets are stolen. Our connected car technology also provide real-time notifications, such as open/closed door monitoring alerts via sensors. If your assets have a tracker, real-time tracking will enable fleet companies to secure them and minimize losses.

Mass Customization upends the traditional notion of “one-size-fits-all” by offering custom solutions at scale. It combines the benefits of mass production with the flexibility of customization, empowering customers to personalize their purchases to better suit their preferences and needs.

Mass Customization has gained traction over the years across various industries, with the following notable examples:

• Dell Computers: buyers configure and personalize their computers by choosing specific components, software, and features online.
• Nike By You: buyers personalize their footwear, including choosing colors, materials, and even adding custom text or symbols.
• BMW Individual: buyers personalize their driving experience by choosing various interior and exterior features, such as paint color, upholstery, trims, and accessories.

Over the years, Positioning Universal has developed the core competencies that enable us to offer our customers cost-effective and personalized solutions. These core competencies include:

• Diverse Product Portfolio: our customization options leverage an extensive range of products designed to cater to different markets and needs. This broad product suite provides the foundation to offer custom versions of these products to our customers.
