"Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic." - Arthur C. Clarke
What do you think of when you consider how your package arrives at your doorstep? Do you consider the size and weight? How long it took to arrive? The various methods of logistics involved in its shipment? How about the security and asset management required to track its location throughout its journey? We would guess that maybe you didn't consider any of those things, and that's exactly the way it should be; less hassle for the consumer means a successful project between a myriad of teams and experts was successful.
Shipping, travel, and the protection of valuable assets (i.e. your package) haven't always been as seamless as they may seem today. In fact, due to advances in technology, it could be argued that it's easier to manipulate, steal, and interfere with shipping than it's ever been. Each shipment is at high risk of interference, especially when the companies sending their product don't have visibility tracking on their asset(s).
In episode 97 of The Wolf and Bull, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ittay "Ty" Hayut, Co-Founder & CEO of Hoopo Asset Intelligence. Hoopo specializes in asset intelligence tracking, providing advanced tracking hardware and software for dry containers, chassis, trailers, ground support equipment, waste containers, and more. With Hoopos products and services, companies can receive real-time results on their bottom line, reducing the cost of operations, and ensuring that their assets (and the interests of their clients) remain protected.
Many of us never consider the work, technology, and behind-the-scenes activities involved in making sure that shipments arrive on time and in good order. That's why we decided to speak with Ty about his background, his company, and the complexities associated with asset tracking and management. We truly enjoyed this episode and we hope you do as well.
