Overhaul's enhanced offering helps customers harness the power of IoT for their in-transit logistics needs and simplifies the complexities faced by Heads of Global Supply Chains and Logistics Directors.

IoT Assess and Deploy optimizes operations, protects shipments, and ensures stringent quality and compliance controls. The service, a fundamental pillar of Overhaul's real-time visibility and risk management platform, brings in data from devices based on specific use cases across tried and tested range of products, including newly sourced IoT products previously unavailable to the general market.

"These enhancements align perfectly with each client's unique supply chain requirements, further cementing our role as a crucial partner in their operational success."

The service has already yielded significant results in diverse operational environments. For a Fortune 50 company, the refined solution achieved an impressive average device performance of 99.9%. In the pharmaceutical sector, a Fortune 500 company experienced an 18% increase in device tracking compliance within a quarter, showcasing the system's efficacy in stringent regulatory environments. These enhancements have resulted in a significant 34% annual reduction in the number of devices lost or not returned, demonstrating the service's effectiveness and contributing to more sustainable practices within the global enterprise.
