Industry Example for Hazmat Tracking in the Chemical
Transport Industry

Chemical Transport Corporation (CTC) operates a fleet of specialist tankers and containers to provide chemical delivery services to customer in mining, agriculture and other industries.

Since CTC is shipping goods that are considered Hazardous, their customers expect that CTC have constant visibility over their shipments. CTC also has obligations to various authorities.

CTC’s cargo is also valuable and missing or delayed shipments are expensive in terms of capital and customer satisfaction.

CTC runs a system where they can “scan” their containers in and out of depots which gives them some visibility, but once the container is scanned out of the depot it becomes unclear where it is.  This is compounded because CTC contracts their freight out to various carriers and the containers may travel by road, rail or sea.

CTC customers are often frustrated when they have a need for the goods and CTC is unable to advise exactly where the shipment is.

CTC staff are also frustrated because they have unhappy customers whose freight is often near delivery, yet CTC does not have the visibility to let the customer know.

The team at CTC need a more efficient solution!
