Business Challenge

Steel logistics is high-value and high-risk. Each shipment involves:

01

Limited Real-Time Visibility

Steel logistics is inherently high-value and time-sensitive, involving expensive raw materials, strict dispatch timelines, and tightly managed vehicle turnaround times within mines. However, the company lacked real-time visibility into fleet movements and depended heavily on third-party transporters and manual coordination.
02

Route Deviations and Material Security Risks

Frequent route deviations—impacting nearly 10% of trips—posed a significant operational and financial risk. Without real-time detection, these deviations were addressed only after delays had already occurred.
03

Compliance & Governance Exposure

From a governance standpoint, the absence of structured tracking created serious compliance and audit challenges. The company lacked reliable records of vehicle movements, unsafe driving practices, and route adherence, increasing vulnerability during internal audits and client disputes.
