With Positioning Universal’s advanced connected car devices, including real-time tracking and alerts, you can proactively protect your assets from theft if incidents occur.

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.

Positioning Universal has earned a reputation as a trusted partner that ensures device quality and availability.

Background

Global Supply Chain Pressure Index (GSCPI), published by The New York Federal Reserve, monitors global supply chain disruptions. The GSCPI’s March 2023 update indicated that supply chain pressures have moderated compared to their December 2021 peak, but these pressures remain at historically elevated levels.

Considering the persistent disruptions in the supply chain, it becomes crucial for companies to include the supply chain capabilities of potential vendors as a critical decision factor while evaluating different telematics solutions. This assessment should focus on how these companies successfully maneuvered through the significant supply chain disruptions that occurred between 2020 and 2022. It is essential to examine the policies and processes they have implemented to ensure the uninterrupted availability and cost-effectiveness of their telematics devices.

Since Positioning Universal had already built resiliency and redundancy in our supply chain before the pandemic, we were able to supply devices to our customers without interruption, while many of our competitors had severe shortages and, in some cases, did not have any available devices for months.
