Responsive and Reliable amid Pandemic
After a chaotic year, supply chain complexity is escalating at high speed and becoming more fragile. The adoption of emerging technologies protects the organizational infrastructure from risk. The risks include escalating and emerging threats, new wave of destructive attacks, and insider threats from witting or unwitting employees. As per records, in 2022, Ransomware, Phishing, and Crypto-jacking are among the top cyber risks for businesses worldwide while new threats are on the rise daily. Deployment of an effective layer of security is required to protect the organization’s most critical data.
In such situations, cargo owners expect that they are able to monitor the chain of custody as their shipment travels from one point in their supply chain to the next. There is a need to ensure that high-value products do not fall victim to such cargo threats that are now emerging globally. Cargo owners should be able to track their assets, get instant notifications whenever there is even the slightest deviation from their planned route and be instantly alerted if the integrity of their goods is compromised. Arviem’s cargo monitoring service helps combat this issue in the supply chain. Cargo owners are enabled to keep an eye on their cargo movement in real-time right from the loading point to all the way to their final delivery point. This is achieved using sensors that are attached securely to the cargo. Any change in temperature, attempt at tampering or any other sort of suspicious behavior is immediately captured and shared with the relevant party. This allows shippers to take action instantly. These instantaneous alerts and actions help in the prevention of complete loss of the full shipment. If anything, shippers can at least know what happened. Between success and failure is only one thing: timely corrective measures. Achieving that bolsters the trust and loyalty of the clients.
Taking Supply Chain to the Next Level
The operations and innovative activities of Arviem are driven by one and only one thing: the interest of shippers. This is central to the whole vision of Arviem, which is to help their clients have the visibility of their shipments. The data that their services collect serves as the foundation for other optimization and innovation activities in other areas of logistics. Visibility in the supply chain is the first step. The next step is improving the services built around visibility.
Arviem’s major focus is to take the data gathered by their sensors that travel with shipments all over the world and build value-adding services around it. These include real-time cargo condition and location monitoring, cargo security monitoring, shipment performance reports and shipment risk profiling.
The success of every blue-chip company is achieved through building trust and loyalty with clients. By promoting a customer-centric approach, Arviem is creating and upholding relationships with their clients built on trust, especially in ensuring that their data is in safe hands and that they have a secure engagement at all touchpoints.
