Globe Tracker Reefer Telematics and Customer Platform

Globe Tracker ApS is a Danish IoT company headquartered in Copenhagen that has made supply chains smart since 2007, starting as a spin-off from the IT University of Iceland. It builds telematics devices and software for reefer and dry container monitoring, with offices in Copenhagen, Sarasota, Reykjavik, Rotterdam, Tórshavn, Singapore and Shanghai.

The reefer device combines global cellular connectivity with a built-in wireless sensor gateway and offline storage. It supports two-way remote control of major reefer makes including Carrier, Thermo King, Daikin and StarCool, with remote set-point reading and control, remote PTI, GPS location, temperature excursion alerts, shock alerts and remote log upload. Further devices cover gensets, dry containers (DRY360) and door and cargo sensors. The customer platform shows trip timelines across ship, rail, truck and barge legs, with filtering, CSV or XLS export, user roles and white-labelling, plus an API service.

• Reefer device: global cellular telematics unit with built-in wireless sensor gateway and offline storage.
• Two-way reefer control: remote set-point read and control for Carrier, Thermo King, Daikin and StarCool units.
• Condition and location alerts: GPS, temperature excursion, shock and damage alerts with remote log upload.
• Genset, DRY360 and door sensors: devices for generator sets, dry containers and door or cargo status.
• Customer platform: trip timelines across transport modes, filters, CSV or XLS export, user roles and white-label branding.
• Installation and updates: GT Sense Install App on iOS or Android and over-the-air software upgrades.

• A Vietnamese container owner or feeder carrier can fit reefers with telematics to monitor and adjust set-points remotely.
• A fruit or seafood exporter can access trip timelines and temperature data for its reefers through a white-labelled portal from its carrier.
• A depot or logistics provider can run remote PTI checks to cut inspection time before reefers are released.

• Remote set-point control and remote PTI reduce physical checks on reefers and allow faster correction of temperature problems.
• Excursion and shock alerts let carriers and shippers act on cargo issues while containers are in transit.
• Offline storage keeps data complete when containers are out of cellular coverage at sea.
• One platform for reefers, gensets and dry containers with exports and white-labelling lets carriers offer visibility to their own customers.

Container tracking is shifting from a premium service to a norm as device costs fall, standards mature and ESG and insurance pressures grow, as Globe Tracker argued at Intermodal Europe 2025. Reefer exports of fruit, seafood and meat from Southeast Asia rely on carriers and container owners that increasingly want remote reefer management on their fleets.
