Rail security program ROI
See how Overhaul helped a manufacturing company prevent theft and recover stolen loads.
An American multi-national industrial manufacturing company transporting high-value industrial materials from overseas to the Port of Long Beach, and then by rail to inland U.S. destinations, was experiencing significant cargo theft at vulnerable rail yards. Traditional security measures, such as visible locks, were inadvertently attracting attention to sensitive shipments. Response efforts were further limited by a lack of real-time visibility and delays caused by jurisdictional boundaries.
The customer implemented Overhaul’s Cargo Security Program, deploying the full risk mitigation platform, including:
- Discreet, real-time sensors to detect intrusions and pinpoint exact locations
- 24/7 monitoring and coordinated response across jurisdictions
- Post-theft investigative support powered by Overhaul’s data intelligence
The company upgraded to Overhaul’s full program. In just the first six months, Overhaul enabled $65,000+ in new recoveries. Overhaul also facilitated a follow-up investigation from one theft, using location intelligence that uncovered several hundred stolen pallets, including inventory from the customer’s previously unsolved thefts.
Thanks to Overhaul’s data and investigation tools, this led to an additional ~$390,000 in recovered cargo from thefts that occurred prior to implementing the program. Additionally, this led to a breakup of a major organized crime operation.
