Logistics Plus has partnered with several tracking and visibility technology companies to provide customers with various shipment visibility solutions. We can reduce the risks associated with the movement and handling of high-value shipments by installing multi-sensor trackers with dedicated real-time monitoring.
Our visibility trackers can be used in any domestic, cross-border, or international mode of transportation (air, ocean, road, FTL, LTL, TL, and multimodal) and for asset tracking at yards, warehouses, and project sites. The device sensors detect location (routes, deviations, and geo fence crossing), motion (drop, tilt, shock, and impact), light (door open), pressure (flight detection), and temperature.
Shipment trackers provide the following benefits:
- Maintain product integrity. Gain real-time visibility of product integrity, giving peace of mind that you’re meeting all quality and regulatory standards at every stage.
- Predictive ETAs. Get predictive ETAs for all your shipments, so you can take action that results in happier customers.
- Easier inventory management. Logistics Plus provides upstream and downstream insights with PO-level shipment visibility, simplifying and streamlining inventory planning.
- Improved carrier management. With a complete network view and data-driven insights, Logistics Plus customers dramatically improve carrier compliance.
- Dynamic container intelligence. Real-time container visibility and port intelligence help you decrease dwell time and manage hidden and erroneous detention and demurrage fees.
- Boost supply chain efficiency. From deviation alerts to unified communication, Logistics Plus optimizes manual processes, making it easier for teams to impress customers.
We have both reusable and disposable devices, roughly the size of a smartphone. Let us know if you have a need for this type of service add-on. We often use these trackers on shipments from our multiple U.S. warehouses. We can ship these tracking devices to any location and provide training on the setup process.
We also have lower-cost trackers available for shipments where location and environmental variables are important, but 24/7 professional monitoring and response are not critical.

Emile reflected on his experience and thoughts of the conference. “Attending this conference is in continuation of our company’s efforts to allow our operations teams to focus on their clients by reducing mundane manual processes where possible, eliminating the potential for error, and speeding up data processing cycles.” He added, “Not surprisingly, UiPath shares some of the same values and approaches as LP: humble but bold, immersive but fast.”

Since inception, the Logistics Plus Dubai (LP Dubai) team has embraced turnkey, innovative technology solutions to ensure efficiency and effective management within the organization. Recently, the LP Dubai team hosted Criterion Technology to introduce and familiarize themselves with the latest innovative software developments and products in the industry. The ultimate goal for LP Dubai was to find a software that will help them achieve all of their business goals.
Criterion Technology introduced LP Dubai to their Zoho One software; a product created by the globally renowned brand Zoho. The software can connect and reconcile bank accounts in minutes to enable account holders to stay on top of their account activities. The Criterion team conducted a three hour live demonstration of the software that highlighted the groundbreaking achievements and capabilities of the Zoho One software. The Zoho CRM and Zoho Project platforms were also focal points of the live demonstration.
According to the Criterion Technology team, one of the best features of the innovative web-based office suite is the Integrated Operations function. “Zoho One software brings ease and speed to Zoho account holders. Zoho accounts, which are already integrated with multiple banks in the UAE, can connect and reconcile bank accounts in minutes,” a member of the Criterion Technology team noted.
Criterion Technology provided the LP Dubai staff with temporary user access for the trial session to allow Logistics Plus a hands-on experience with the software. The experience proved to be valuable and the LP Dubai team looks forward to using the Zoho Projects platform in the near future.
