Praetorian Signs Up for Savi’s Automated and Wireless Supply Tracking Network in Pakistan

Praetorian, a provider of diverse business lines that include logistics and supply chain management services to commercial and defense organizations, has contracted with Lockheed Martin’s Savi Technology to leverage Savi’s existing wireless cargo tracking network in Pakistan.

Praetorian plans to integrate Savi’s real-time information into its own system as a value-added service to improve visibility on the location, security and condition of both defense and commercial shipments transported throughout the country.

Savi’s software suite automates visibility on the location, security and condition of shipments because it can receive real-time data from wireless monitoring devices affixed to containers or assets. Savi’s active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags can be equipped with sensors to monitor security breaches, temperature or humidity, and can be linked with Satellite Communications or Global Positioning (GPS) systems to provide continuous visibility anywhere, anytime.

“Praetorian recognizes the extra value of offering Savi’s real-time information to better manage and protect customers’ shipments, whether for commercial or defense purposes,” said Fahad Hussain, CEO of Praetorian.

“Savi’s automated supply tracking and management solutions have literally been honed on the battlefield, and they’re highly configurable to improve operational efficiency and security throughout all kinds of supply chains,” said David Stephens, CEO of Savi Technology. “We’re pleased to extend our network capabilities in Pakistan with Praetorian, which is a long-time trusted company that’s done business with global public and private sector organizations.”

Praetorian also plans to leverage the Savi SmartChain Enterprise Platform and suite, including shipment, asset and consignment management applications. The commercially operated network in Pakistan and Savi Consignment Management Application (CMA) already provide in-transit information to major organizations. Elsewhere, a number of commercial businesses in the retail, aerospace, logistics and petro-chemical industries also use Savi Shipment Management or Savi Asset Management to improve operational efficiency, asset utilization and inventory levels.
