### What is Supply Chain Visibility?

Supply chain visibility refers to the ability to track the movement, status, and condition of goods, assets, and shipments in real time as they move through the supply chain. With enhanced visibility, businesses gain access to accurate, up-to-date information on inventory, shipments, and equipment location across multiple touchpoints and geographies.

At Digital Matter, we enable supply chain visibility using a combination of GPS tracking devices, Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) tags, and IoT sensors to provide real-time data for better decision-making and streamlined operations.

### How Does IoT Provide Enhanced Visibility Across Your Supply Chain?

IoT devices, such as GPS trackers and sensors, collect and transmit critical data on location, movement, impact, temperature, and more. Digital Matter devices use LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN®, and Wi-Fi technologies to provide global asset visibility across both indoor and outdoor environments.

Our GPS and IoT trackers enable you to:

-   Monitor shipment location and condition in real time
    
-   Prevent asset loss and theft with geofencing and tamper alerts
    
-   Optimize routes and scheduling with live GPS tracking
    
-   Identify bottlenecks and delays in the supply chain
    

### What is supply chain visibility and why does it matter for supply chain operations?

Supply chain visibility is the ability to see and monitor assets, shipments, and inventory at every stage of the transportation and storage journey. By using IoT systems to capture real time data, businesses can intervene proactively, reduce blind spots, and align their entire supply chain toward greater coordination and agility.
