LoJack SCI, a subsidiary of LoJack Corporation, is a developer covert cargo tracking and monitoring for visibility, protection and security. Integrating the Contguard CMU container tracking service with the SC iOn Command Center will provide shippers, carriers and 3PLs the ability to meet stringent standards to ensure compliance and security, as containers ship worldwide through customs.

With the Contguard alliance, we have taken the next logical step in extending per trip service on a global basis.
