Shipping with GPS Trackers
Optional Services
Ever Wonder Where Your Package Is And Wish the Carrier's Customer Service Could Actually Help with the Tracking?
For those with high-priority shipments, a GPS tracker is a powerful tool — you can track a package’s exact location on a tarmac, in a warehouse, or on the grounds of any destination. GPS trackers are a valuable tool for tracking life science shipments such as those that fall under UN 3373 B regulation and clinical samples.
With GPS, you don’t have to rely just on the carrier's information. You can see exactly where your shipment is and proactively intervene, for example, when you see that a flight is leaving and the package is not on the flight. Airports such as Chicago O’Hare can be massive and complex. From the shipment's movement between various cargo warehouses to its final destination, you will possess comprehensive insights that surpass the carrier's own knowledge. Armed with this detailed information, you can engage in more informed conversations with the carrier, effectively addressing any concerns or inquiries.
While GPS trackers provide an invaluable tool for tracking packages, it's important to note that they temporarily lose connectivity during flights due to airline regulations. Nonetheless, you will still be well-informed regarding your package's status, knowing precisely when it boards the flight and when it lands at its destination. After your shipment is complete, the tracker is disposable.
