Protective packaging provider GWP Protective is launching Tracker Case, said to be the world’s first fully trackable protective case, targeting the market for the international shipment of high value goods.
The new Tracker Case offers the ability to geographically locate high value items in shipment, in real time, using a varied range of GPS-based tracking technology.
With the ability to fully integrate the state of the art tracking technology into all of GWP’s protective cases during the design process, the UK-based company can produce a trackable case that reveals no evidence of the tracker to the outside world.
GWP says the new technology will appeal not only to those shipping high-value industrial equipment items, such as specialist manufacturers and rental companies, but also to organisations such as museums and art galleries shipping antiquities and fine art around the world.
“As well as having to provide a high level of physical protection for high-value and sensitive equipment, we realised that GWP’s range of cases could potentially also provide protection against loss and theft,” says GWP sales director Ian Heskins.
The Tracker Case online tracking software is accessible from any internet-connected computer and users can log in and view all their Tracker Cases simultaneously.
A visual indication of the route that the case has taken and a history of case movements can be provided to the user, who can also be sent alerts if a case moves into or out of a pre-determined area.
