Cargo theft costs the supply chain $35 billion annually—and it's showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, rates are projected to climb another 25% this year.
To provide some background, let’s first look at the main types of cargo theft - broker fraud and shipment interception are among the most common - but as cargo theft becomes more prevalent, the theft is only getting more complex. Identify theft, fictitious pickups, and other intricate methods are on the rise as well.
Now, if you work within logistics, you know that no industry or type of good is safe. Everything from electronics, industrial material, pharmaceuticals, clothing, or even food and beverage is fair game.
But why is cargo such a popular target? The answer is simple – it’s vulnerable and the complexity of the crime is outgrowing the current procedures of the industry.
We have spent months exploring this issue, talking to industry professionals, and visiting facilities first-hand. One consistent pattern has emerged – the most overlooked, and often the most vulnerable part of the operation is the gate. Manual logs, unverified drivers, siloed vehicle data, and limited visibility are still shockingly common. For today’s organized theft rings, these are not obstacles, they are opportunities.
What we are sure of right now is that you can’t stop modern theft with legacy systems, yet manufacturers and distributors across the country are still utilizing traditional methods.
So, what do we do? We match the innovative spirit of the thieves. If they can evolve, why can’t we?
In an era where theft is more organized than ever, it's time your gate is too.
