Lost load carriers and long downtimes increase logistics costs for many companies, including those in the automotive industries and machine manufacturing, as well as manufacturers of speciality glass, medical technology products and other sensitive and bulky goods. Delays can jeopardise deliveries and the reputation of logistics service providers.
The solution is asset tracking. This technology provides real-time visibility of fleets and transport containers, identifies sources of disruption and reveals potential for optimization.
Immediately measurable success: A 95% reduction in the loss of load carriers
The BOX ID system, an IoT-based SaaS solution, has produced impressive results for its customers. The solution enables load carriers and container fleets to be monitored in real time, allowing bottlenecks to be avoided specifically. This directly impacts costs and efficiency. The effect is demonstrated by practical examples:
- 95% fewer lost load carriers: lost or misdirected assets will be a thing of the past.
- 20–25% smaller fleet: optimized circulation allows transport containers to be used more productively, significantly reducing costs.
"With BOX ID's active container management, we can optimally control container circulation and ensure consistently high availability. Missing load carriers are now a thing of the past."

Thanks to this transparency, companies can make their fleets more efficient and identify bottlenecks early on, allowing them to take targeted countermeasures. This significantly reduces operating costs and the administrative burden on employees, creating a win-win situation for everyone involved in the supply chain.
Proof of value in just a few weeks and without risk
The Starter Edition of BOX ID provides a solid basis for decision-making on the introduction of fleet-wide asset tracking within just 12 weeks – fast, simple, and without significant risk:
- Costs: 695 € per month
- IoT sensors: 40 sensors included, expandable with additional units
- Integration: Easy integration into existing processes; optional access to telematics or ERP systems
- Security: ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR compliant
How the test phase works
- Install trackers: A selected number of load carriers are equipped with digital trackers (40 included).
- Collect data: Location, condition, and circulation times are recorded in real time.
- Identify optimization potential: Sources of disruption and inefficiencies become visible.
- Deduce measures: Companies can use the data to plan targeted optimizations and estimate the potential ROI for a later rollout.
The test phase provides concrete insights that can be directly transferred to three key areas of action: making success measurable, automating processes, and implementing optimization potential.
Define KPIs & check their feasibility
Use the database to define goals and check their potential.
- One-day workshop: Assessing the current situation and setting goals
- Defining metrics and milestones for the success of the test phase
- Training employees: installing trackers and using the software
- The Customer Success Team provides support with regular meetings to identify potential for optimization
Individual automation without programming
Get the most out of the software features—without any IT effort.
- Test all functions: Device management, asset classification, zone monitoring (indoor & outdoor)
- Automation without programming knowledge via intuitive user interface
- Examples:
- Geofencing: Trigger actions when an asset leaves a zone
- Downtime notifications: Notifications in the software or via email
- Quickly map, control, and optimize processes
Recognize potential & implement measures
Translate the data obtained into concrete improvements.
- 40 IoT trackers provide immediate data on circulation times, dwell times, inflows and outflows, and location distribution
- Bottlenecks, long downtimes, or transport delays become immediately visible
- Measure improvements: Identify and implement optimization potential
- Draw conclusions about ROI for later rollout of a larger fleet
Efficiency, transparency, and strategic freedom
The BOX ID Starter Edition enables companies to gain insight into their container management quickly. Turnover times are accelerated, bottlenecks are identified early on, and losses of load carriers are minimised. Fleet size can be optimally controlled, capital commitment reduced and operating costs saved.
Most importantly, employees benefit, as they are relieved of the time-consuming task of searching for load carriers, freeing up valuable time for strategic supply chain management. The Starter Edition is the ideal risk-free way to test these advantages, identify optimisation potential and enter into smart, efficient asset management without a large investment.
