Logistics

Pallets, containers and yard moves — where loss is measured in whole units.

The market

What we actually
see on site

Outdoor RF is harder than indoor RF, and anyone who tells you otherwise has not commissioned a yard portal in monsoon season. These two modules are scoped accordingly: rugged tags, weatherised portals, and for port work, partner-led delivery rather than a promise we would be learning on site.

Chattogram and Mongla port modernisation is creating genuine appetite for automated gate and yard data.

Private distribution centres supporting retail and industry are scaling, and 3PL operators are getting more sophisticated about what they measure.

Loss and ETA accuracy, rather than labour cost, are what actually move budget in this sector.

Who signs

  • DC Operations for the dock and yard case
  • Supply Chain Director for network visibility
  • Port IT and Operations, usually via a systems partner

What gets in the way

  • Outdoor RF: weather, metal, distance and reflection all work against you
  • TOS and WMS integration, frequently with vendor gatekeeping
  • Customs process alignment is a governance problem, not a technical one
  • Port sites are complex enough that partner-led delivery is the honest answer
Where it goes

The read points

Every device reports independently to one platform. Nothing depends on the device next to it, which is why a site can start with one read point and add the rest later.

The problem

What it costs
today

Pallets and containers that go missing between nodes, and ETAs built on guesswork rather than events.

Modules

2 modules for logistics

Adopt one, or several. They share a tag estate, a device layer and one set of integrations.

Deployment

Built for
here

What changes when this is deployed in Bangladesh rather than lifted from a vendor datasheet written somewhere else.

  • 01Rugged tags and weatherised portal enclosures as standard
  • 02Mobile and vehicle-mounted readers where fixed infrastructure is impractical
  • 034G/5G backhaul with store-and-forward for yard edges
  • 04Partner-led delivery for port and terminal sites

Software needs
something to read

Every module here runs on equipment we already supply, install and service across Bangladesh. The platform is the layer above it, not a replacement for it.
