Savi launched Savi Mobile Tracking System, advanced technology that identifies and tracks in real-time the location, movement and condition of high-value assets. Savi Mobile Tracking System is ideal for large organizations, manufacturers, heavy industry and governments with distributed supply chains and complex logistics requirements.

Savi Mobile Tracking System is an integrated platform that includes specialized software and hardware devices designed specifically for securing and monitoring a wide range of cargo types – ISO containers on road and rail, closed rail wagons and tanker railcars, wet cargo (fuel trucks) and in-vehicle units for vehicle tracking. The system supports a wide range of “tag” technologies including GPS, GPRS, RFID and satellite communications that provide in-transit visibility and real-time asset management for greater accuracy in location and movement tracking.

“Savi’s customers face some of the most challenging logistic and asset tracking requirements within the harshest environments,” said William Clark, president and CEO of Savi Technology. “Savi Mobile Tracking System represents a major step forward in providing organizations with real-time situational awareness that mirrors activities in the field.”

Savi Mobile Tracking System users benefit from a single-screen dashboard that displays all assets, location, transit and established routes on live maps. Users receive real and relevant-time updates that provide greater transparency of shipments, improve transit times and identify diversion of assets from established routes and locations. This capability provides a significant improvement in the identification of theft and the recovery of stolen assets.

“Sense and respond solutions, particularly those that incorporate mobile technologies to track and take action on high value assets, are getting a lot of attention from large companies in these highly competitive and uncertain economic times,” said Michael Fauscette, Software Business Solutions Group vice president at IDC, a global provider of marketing intelligence and advisory services for the IT industry. “Businesses have to contain and lower operating costs to ensure healthy margin growth. Using sophisticated sense and respond solutions is an excellent way to see fast return on investment and more effective asset tracking and management.”

Savi Mobile Tracking System is at the core of an alliance between Savi and SGS to support a new service called SGS OMNIS. This service will help ensure that critical shipments of materials arrive at their intended destination, resulting in substantial cost savings and allowing governments to protect customs revenue while reducing cargo piracy.
