Transparency within the Transport Chain

DB SCHENKERsmartbox combines innovation with worldwide ocean freight quality. GPS and telematics ensure transparency, control and efficiency through the entire logistics chain.

DB SCHENKERsmartbox allows real time tracking of containers with valuable loads. Sensor technology allows parameters such as temperature, humidity, door alarm and vibration to be measured and transmitted with position data provided by GPS. These telematic data are then stored in the customer information system (CIS) and can be accessed by the customer at any time.

Such an innovation creates a new kind of transparency within the transport chain allowing weak points to be identified and fixed, operational processes to be streamlined and data quality to be improved.
