Leveraging wireless GPS location and existing cellular infrastructure, Grupo Hemas now can offer its customers the SaviTrak(TM) intelligence service, which enables better cargo tracking, operational efficiency, inventory management and the immediate detection of possible security breaches. SaviTrak also enables Grupo Hemas to immediately detect and take action on changes in the condition of temperature-sensitive cargo, hazardous materials and agricultural products.

“We have turned to Savi Networks because its industry-leading service provides complete location, security and environmental visibility of cargo anywhere and anytime,” said Hector Mora, chief executive officer of Grupo Hemas. “SaviTrak adds cost-effective intelligence to cargo entrusted to us by our diverse customer base.”

“With logistics operations serving about 600 locations in Mexico alone, Grupo Hemas is a strategically important customer for Savi Networks because it is a major trade region worldwide,” said Neil Smith, chief executive officer of Savi Networks. “We already have commercial and government customers throughout Asia, Europe, North and South America, and now our relationship with Grupo Hemas expands the SaviTrak intelligence service into Mexico.”

Grupo Hemas will provide the SaviTrak service through its Hemaspheria security service to customers in Mexico and eventually for cross-border shipments worldwide.
