Entering the Portuguese market with our smart container

AELER, a Swiss sustainable logistics startup, is rapidly expanding with innovative container solutions, aiming to transport CHF 350 million in goods and strengthen its global partner network in 2024.

Portuguese shipping agent NAVEX will market the AELER composite smart container in Portugal and the Cape Verde Islands.

Geofencing employs geo-coordinates to create virtual perimeters around a specific location, enabling the real-time monitoring of IoT-enabled containers as they enter or leave designated zones. This technology revolutionises logistics management by offering unprecedented visibility and control over container movements. It enhances operational efficiency and security across the global supply chain by allowing companies to monitor and stipulate where, for example, a truck carrying high-value pharmaceuticals or luxury goods can stop. Safe zones can be designated for rests, food, or bathroom breaks to ensure the security of the cargo.
