Problem
Traditional shipping methods often lack real-time visibility, making it difficult to track the location and condition of goods in transit. The reliance on printed shipping labels creates inefficiencies and limits the ability to reroute or update shipment information dynamically. Furthermore, monitoring environmental factors and potential mishandling during shipping is challenging, leading to potential damage and increased costs.
Solution
Envio offers Artac, a digital shipping label and asset tracker designed to provide real-time visibility and control over shipments. The solution utilizes an E-ink display that can be remotely updated via a mobile network, eliminating the need for printed labels. Integrated indoor and outdoor tracking technology enables accurate location monitoring in over 160 countries. Artac also incorporates sensors to detect handling mistreatment, such as excessive G-forces, temperature abuse, and unauthorized opening, providing alerts to stakeholders. A browser-based dashboard and API allow users to monitor and control devices remotely, upload images to the digital label, view live and historical data, and set up geozone and sensor event notifications.
Target Audience
Envio's primary customers include businesses in logistics, energy, and industrial sectors seeking to improve supply chain visibility, reduce costs associated with lost or damaged goods, and enable circular economy initiatives through reusable packaging.
