Cargo Management and Security with ProfitMAX

Integrated Cargo Management Systems (ICMS) of San Antonio, Texas, offers a state-of-the-art, patented cargo management and tracking system ProfitMAX. More than any other system in existence, ProfitMAX offers the flexibility and opportunity to monitor, track, and report on conditions of in-transit cargo, including:

	Door openings
	Temperature
	Humidity
	Shock
	Geographical location
	Motion inside trailer/container
	Carbon dioxide
	Speed of a truck

Consider the following features and associated benefits:

Feature: System provides independent, third party monitoring of all trip information in real-time.

Benefits: All authorized parties have secure access to high integrity, unbiased data about the condition and security of the cargo during movement. This can reduce the cost and time of insurance claims resolution and reduce underwriting loss, improving insurance industry profits while allowing reduced carrier insurance premiums.

Feature: System provides location tracking of cargo using the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS data is provided with every report whether it is a scheduled report or a report due to an alarm condition.

Benefits: All authorized parties can verify where events took place, which aids in establishing responsibility and legal jurisdiction, and in identifying problematic trends.

Feature: Permits 24 hour-per-day access of the cargo monitoring system for vital information such as location, status, and cargo condition, including a history of the shipment to date.

Benefits: All authorized parties have access to data concerning the shipment when they need it and as events are happening. This saves valuable time in taking appropriate action.

Feature: System stays with the cargo (i.e., the cargo host – trailer, container, railcar, etc.) and is self-sufficient from tractor.

Benefit: Unlike some other systems, cargo hosts and cargo can be monitored even without the presence of a cab or tractor, allowing uninterrupted tracking of cargo and providing more flexibility for logistics providers.

Feature: Clients determine what conditions are monitored and the parameters for alarm notification.

Benefit: Unlike other systems, ProfitMax reports by exception, allowing the user to receive only that information which they feel is relevant to their interest in the shipment.

Feature: Complete audit trail maintained and provided by independent third party.

Benefit: Even after the cargo is delivered and months have gone by, ICMS' Central Monitoring System maintains the history of what happened during the cargo movement to support settling disputes and to build a database of information to assist in analysis of areas for improvement and potential trouble spots in cargo movement and security.
