The problem:
During transport from the distribution centre to stores theft of a few cases here and there was being noted.

Complication:
They use various road haulage operators to carry out logistics and do not own their own fleet. The introduction of a fixed system on a fleet of owned trailers was therefore not an option. Any solution needed to be portable.

Solution:

Method:
1. Once a truck is loaded, sLock is snapped onto the trailer’s doors. The key is given to the driver.
2. The truck departs for its destination.
3. Any heavy impact on the lock (attempted theft) is reported to key stakeholders immediately
4. If the key is used to open the lock before its destination is reached, an alert is generated Upon safe arrival at destination, the sLock is returned to the distribution centre for re-use.
