How to use trackers for shipping and container tracking and monitoring

A general guide on how tracking can help optimise operations, including details & tips for deployment, maintenance and sourcing
Sustainability Icon
We're a sustainable business
Whilst it's not (currently) possible to manufacture electronics in a 100% sustainable way, we do what we can to ensure our operations are as sustainable as possible
  1. Our devices are designed to last at least 10 years and have a 3 year warranty
  2. Our offices run on 100% renewable energy
  3. Packaging we buy is 100% recyclable, made from recycled material where possible.
  4. We repair or recycle all devices returned to us
  5. Members of our team walk or cycle into the office where distance permits
  6. Any waste created is recycled to the fullest extent possible
  7. We use sea shipping for parts where feasible
  8. Employees are never paid less than a living wage
As with our technology, we're constantly striving to do better and are currently purchasing carbon offsets for some of our operations as a "backup". We know that in many ways this is inadequate and we're still having a hard time calculating an accurate offset amount to purchase, but it's certainly better than doing nothing!
