Since its establishment in 2014, Cydiance has been working with Internet of Things (IoT) based technologies to provide location, temperature and humidity related applications for the international fresh products trade.
Cydiance's tools allow customers to track and record the whole process starting from transportation, sorting, and transfer to the distribution for both import and export customers.
It provides complete data and reduces possible logistic problems significantly. Recently, following the demands of the industry, Cydiance has decided to launch the Shipment Tracking and Collaboration Platform, which is independently designed and operated by the company. The platform is called Cydiance Book.

Real-time tracking
Temperature data analysis
The Cydiance Book Tracking and Collaboration Platform has two main functions:
Tracking and data analysis
The first one is the tracking function that is already well known to the general public. It transmits the temperature, humidity and location coordinates to the platform through the (IoT) devices so that importers and exporters can track their goods in real time.
During the tracking process, if an abnormal situation occurs, the alarm system will be automatically activated and the details will be sent to the customer via email or SMS.
The alarm includes the function of the electronic fence. Once the shipment enters the designated area set in advance, the system will automatically send a reminder. The customer can set up 3 areas. At this stage, the system supports 203 countries and 645 telecom operators, which can basically cover the whole world. There are two versions of equipment according to their working hours, 15 days and 60 days.

Permission settings
Collaboration and sharing
Another feature is the collaboration and sharing options, which is the new amazing advantage of the platform. After the customer enters the system and activates the waybill, the customer can randomly invite relevant personnel (including other companies) to track or manage the shipments together. The collaboration can be performed by different parties.
Permissions can be customized, including the management of information and alarm reminder settings. The contents of the collaboration may include information on the temperature, humidity and location, as well as the management of the import and export documents and photos. Everything possible is being done to reach the consistency and synchronization of multi-party logistics information management, to improve the efficiency of all parties' cooperation and avoid losses in logistics process.

New data page
Cydiance says that the platform has been created to improve the efficiency of multi-party cooperation in the logistics industry. The company hopes that the platform can become the logistics information assistant for the majority of importers and exporters. For this purpose, all basic functions will be open to new importers and exporters for free. All the users are welcome. Try it out and give us your suggestions!
