TrakLok International LLC, a firm specializing in trailer and container security, today announced it has received two industry awards for its integrated access control system that provides a turnkey solution for cargo security. Included are the Supply & Demand Chain Executive 2015 Pros to Know Award and the Heavy Duty Trucking annual list of Top 20 Products.

“In early February, the FreightWatch International Supply Chain Intelligence Center (FWI SCIC) received reports of over 40 pilferage events at truck stops and highway pull-offs in Arkansas,” said Tom Mann, president of TrakLok. “That is just one example of the increase in cargo theft that is taking place. These two awards demonstrate the increasing importance that access control plays in trucking and securing the entire supply chain.”

The awards received by TrakLok for its integrated access control system, a reusable cargo security device that provides robust physical security, multi-sensor alarm, GPS tracking and wireless alerts, include:

Heavy Duty Trucking has named TrakLok to its annual list of the Top 20 Products introduced in the past year. TrakLok was selected based on its innovation that addresses a significant industry issue or concern, and its potential to improve a trucking operation’s bottom line. A panel of editors and experienced fleet executives and maintenance managers, including HDT’s Truck Fleet Innovators and leading fleet equipment and maintenance executives, chooses Top 20 Products.

Supply & Demand Chain Executive has selected TrakLok President Tom Mann as one of its 2015 Pros to Know. The Pros to Know Awards recognize supply chain executives, and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises that are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies’ supply chains for the significant challenges of today’s business climate.

“Whether you need to maintain an FDA compliant system or you manage commercial assets, TrakLok gives you complete control over cargo access, including location, integrity and exception information in real time,” Mann added. “We are proud to be honored by Supply & Demand Chain Executive with a Pros to Know Award and by Heavy Duty Trucking as one of its Top 20 Products.”
