Munich, Bonn, Landshut – 17.12.2008 - CargoGuard GmbH offers a web-based access and control system for portable security containers. The system includes a variety of security and administration functions allowing the sender to choose who, with whom together, when and where access to transported goods is granted. CargoGuard is the most innovative security solution for enterprises demanding freedom from manipulation, theft and data protection as well as quality protection for shipments.
