WiseTech Global and Hapag‑Lloyd have launched a pilot programme to integrate live IoT signals from millions of containers into logistics platforms, aiming to revolutionise supply chain visibility with near‑real-time data and dynamic transit predictions.
WiseTech Global and Hapag‑Lloyd have begun a pilot to feed live Internet of Things signals from millions of smart containers into WiseTech’s logistics platforms, aiming to deliver near‑real‑time global visibility for shippers and logistics operators. According to the partners, the trial connects IoT devices fitted across Hapag‑Lloyd’s container pool directly into WiseTech’s ecosystem to provide continuous location and status updates.

The programme builds on Hapag‑Lloyd’s earlier roll‑out of container tracking technology, which the carrier has promoted as a large‑scale deployment of sensors across its dry container fleet to enable on‑demand door‑to‑door visibility. According to Hapag‑Lloyd’s own announcements, that existing capability underpins the new data feed into third‑party platforms. (Sources: Hapag‑Lloyd press release, Marinelink)
A central test for the pilot is whether WiseTech’s systems can ingest and process millions of telemetry points daily and convert raw pings into operational milestones and actionable intelligence. The partners say they will apply advanced algorithms to filter, enrich and translate location and condition data into events that support decision‑making across supply chains.

Beyond simple position updates, the collaboration is designed to produce dynamic arrival predictions and anomaly detection so customers can see deviations or delays that matter for handovers and final delivery. Hapag‑Lloyd’s previous product launches around container tracking are cited by the partners as the technical foundation for these real‑time ETA calculations and transit‑condition monitoring.

‘By bringing IoT‑driven live container data and tracking into CargoWise, we’re revolutionising supply chain visibility. This collaboration with Hapag‑Lloyd harnesses data at significant scale to turn it into intelligence that customers can act on, to reduce uncertainty, improve efficiency, and make smarter decisions,’ said Zubin Appoo, Chief Executive Officer of WiseTech Global, in a company statement.

WiseTech will distribute the processed location and positioning data through its CargoWise tracking and container automation tools, with the partners indicating plans to extend dissemination to industry channels such as GLO, INTTRA and Neo. As the pilot progresses the companies will refine feed quality, accuracy and usability at scale while soliciting joint customer feedback to shape product development and commercialisation.

If the trial meets its performance targets, the integration could shift how ocean container visibility is consumed by freight forwarders and shippers by embedding live positional intelligence directly into operational systems rather than relying on static schedule‑based milestones. Industry observers say scaling such high‑frequency tracking across multimodal journeys would mark a significant step towards more proactive, data‑driven logistics.
