Logistics One deploys VeriWise trailer tracking system

New Jersey-based RFID tech company Asset Intelligence has made a deal to provide distribution firm Logistics One with its VeriWise™ Dry Van tracking and management system for Logistics One's fleet of 300 trailers.

The five-year contract was awarded after a 60-day pilot deployment. During the pilot, the VeriWise system provided accurate trailer load status for more efficient dispatching, reduced trailer dormancy, the elimination of trailer yard checks, the identification of trailers being used for storage, and more efficient fleet maintenance management.

"The VeriWise Dry Van tracking system captures

powerful, actionable data on our trailers and their cargo, including real-time location and accurate loaded/unloaded status," said Tom Moss, Logistics One's director of transportation. "We will use the data to drive process changes, which we expect will significantly reduce trailer dormancy and increase the revenue capacity of our existing fleet by hundreds of trailer-days per month."

Logistics One provides integrated warehousing, transportation and freight brokerage services throughout the northeastern U.S. and Canada, specializing in distribution for the food, beverage and paper industries.
