Mauser Packaging Solutions specializes in delivering high-quality packaging solutions - from steel and fiber drums to plastic totes - to customers around the world. Their global network of services applies to the full life cycle of packaging products: from design and manufacturing to collection and reconditioning, all the way to reuse and recycling. Mauser is constantly striving for sustainability.
The company's operational model often involves using trailers as extensions of their customers' warehouses, complicating the tracking process. Effective trailer management is crucial for Mauser to ensure timely deliveries and efficient use of their fleet resources.
With trailers often used as temporary storage at customer locations, Mauser needed real-time visibility into their exact locations. Inefficient tracking led to trailers sitting idle for extended periods, sometimes up to 300 days, impacting resource utilization. Ensuring customers and carriers returned trailers promptly was difficult without accurate tracking data. Implementing an advanced tracking system was crucial for Mauser.
Recognizing the need for a data-driven approach to overcome these challenges, Mauser partnered with SkyBitz, a leading provider of real-time trailer tracking solutions.
SkyBitz provided a comprehensive trailer tracking solution tailored to Mauser's needs. SkyBitz's hardware - featuring their Kinnect telematics solution, rechargeable batteries and flexible installation options - allowed for quick deployment and reliable performance. Geofencing capabilities enabled Mauser to monitor trailer movements in real time and ensure timely recovery of trailers, reducing instances of abandoned units and supporting their overall sustainability initiatives.
SkyBitz's trailer tracking solutions provided numerous optimization areas for Mauser's fleet management. By addressing key challenges, SkyBitz has enabled Mauser to enhance operational efficiency, data accuracy, and sustainability.
