Improving Asset Tracking for Port & Urban Logistics in Singapore

Singapore is one of the world’s busiest ports and a major centre for logistics in Asia. The industry is worth about USD 24.5 billion in 2025, with many heavy goods vehicles moving between ports, warehouses, and city areas every day. As cargo moves across these locations, logistics companies need clear visibility of their containers, trailers, and equipment at all times. To avoid delays, reduce misplacements, and keep operations efficient, many operators in Singapore are now adopting real-time asset tracking and automated monitoring systems.

• Untracked Containers & Equipment:
  Port operators struggle to locate trailers, containers, or equipment promptly, causing delays in loading and unloading.
• Limited Visibility Within Ports:
  High-density port zones make it difficult to monitor where assets are parked, stored, or moved at any given moment.
• Slow Turnaround Due to Manual Checks:
  Staff rely on manual logs to record entry, exit, and handover, leading to errors and longer processing times.
• Miscommunication During Transfers:
  Lack of clear tracking leads to confusion between port handlers, warehouse teams, and last-mile carriers.
• Lost or Misplaced Assets:
  Trailers and containers can remain idle or misplaced inside yards, affecting daily scheduling and asset utilisation.

• Real-Time Asset Tracking:
  Trakzee monitors containers, trailers, and equipment using GPS and IoT devices to show exact asset locations inside port terminals and across urban routes.
• Geofence-Based Monitoring:
  Geofences at port gates, yards, and warehouses send instant alerts when an asset enters or exits a designated zone.
• Movement Logs & Route History:
  Every movement is recorded, allowing managers to review asset utilisation, location history, and turnaround patterns.
• Unified Dashboard:
  All assets – vehicles, trailers, and containers—are monitored on a single screen, improving decision-making and coordination.
• IoT Sensor Integration:
  Supports sensors for load status, door activity, or temperature (if applicable), providing full visibility for sensitive cargo.

• Reduced Asset Misplacement:
  Real-time visibility helped reduce lost or misplaced containers inside port zones.
• Faster Gate & Yard Operations:
  Geofence alerts and automated logs shortened entry/exit processing time.
• Improved Coordination Between Port & City Teams:
  Unified tracking improved communication and reduced delays during handovers.
• Higher Asset Utilisation:
  Clear visibility ensured trailers and containers were used efficiently instead of remaining idle.
• Greater Operational Transparency:
  Movement history and status updates improved trust and accuracy for clients and logistics partners.
