FMS Driver

Low cost sensors, which are affixed to the goods, monitor motion, humidity, temperature, light, magnetism, sound and more.

Our mobile app connects to the sensor to provide a real time monitoring and control environment. Advanced, optional capabilities connect the mobile IoT sensors to a desktop control tower environment which allows shippers to monitor their transportation network at scale.
