How to track a shipping container
Technology has made it more effective than ever to keep track of a shipping container. With the power of advanced GPS technology, it’s possible to monitor a container’s real-time location and movement. Radius offers robust asset tracking devices that incorporate these GPS capabilities.
Our GPS container tracking devices, compact and easily attachable, transmit data to provide continuous updates on the status of your shipments. This information is accessible via our desktop and mobile apps, meaning you always know where your container is located.

How shipping container tracking helps businesses
Efficient asset tracking minimises the time and effort spent searching for lost or misplaced items, reducing operational costs associated with inventory management.
Monitoring assets during third-party involvement ensures accountability and transparency, reducing the risk of loss or misplacement and ultimately saving costs associated with asset recovery or replacement.
Analysing tracking data enables businesses to identify trends such as frequent asset loss or misplacement, empowering them to make informed decisions to address these issues and ultimately reduce operational costs over time.
Some products or plans offer theft recovery features, allowing businesses to track and recover stolen assets, minimising financial losses and ensuring business continuity.
Battery-powered trackers provide flexibility and effortless installation without the requirement of external power sources or wiring. This allows for easy relocation and deployment across various assets and locations, making them ideal for remote or power-constrained areas.
Our asset trackers use standard replaceable batteries, these deliver a long life and feature a robust construction, ensuring continuous tracking functionality even in harsh environments or outdoor settings.
