The Importance of Freight Security
In the dynamic landscape of logistics, where goods are constantly in transit between manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users, freight security plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of the supply chain. From the moment a shipment leaves the warehouse to its final destination, it is susceptible to various security threats, including theft, tampering, and fraud. These risks not only pose a significant financial burden to businesses but also disrupt operations, damage reputations, and compromise customer trust.
