PAR LMS began in 1998 as a joint program between PAR and the US Department of Transportation. The result was the Cargo*Mate® Chassis tracking system for intermodal chassis and port efficiency management. With 1000s of units deployed in various intermodal ports, the Cargo*Mate® technology has been tested and evaluated around the globe has proven itself as the only reliable and cost effective solution for the intermodal industry. Through better visibility, our solutions have yielded real benefits for chassis, gensets, and reefer, management and utilization. Fundamental to our success in intermodal tracking, is the critical understanding that actionable information on asset status and location, must be available, reliable, and most importantly affordable.

Cargo*Watch is PAR LMS latest systems solution. The Cargo*Watch system incorporates GPS, RFID, satellite, cellular, and internet technologies to provide relevant and accurate information on cargo, container status and security.

PAR LMS began the evolution of asset tracking in the intermodal world by developing and deploying the first and only chassis tracking technology- Cargo*Mate®. Before there was a Department of Homeland Security and before the notion of Port Security became a political campaign issue, PAR LMS was already in many of the major seaports around the globe tracking intermodal assets.

Our solutions deliverer better business efficiencies, increased asset utilizations, repositioning mitigation, and virtually eliminate asset write offs and manual yard counts of chassis, refers, containers and gensets. Through increased asset visibility and management, The Cargo*Mate® system allows shipping, rail, and lease, companies to decrease their fleet sizes of chassis, gensets, refers, and containers. Mitigation and control of inefficient intermodal assets empowers the industry, streamlines the supply chain, and yields significant benefits to the management of critical seaport real estate. Furthermore, through a layered approach of cargo security and supply chain visibility, our technology helps to protect our boarders and the citizens who live within them.

Post September 11th 2001 the security of America's homeland became a significant and primary concern to all who live and work here in the United States. In recent times the security of US seaports and the intermodal container system as a whole has been under strict scrutiny. The Department of Transportation and the Department of Homeland security worked directly with PAR LMS to develop the Cargo*Watch® system. This system provides protection from the possible threat of a Trojan horse scenario whereby terrorist utilize the intermodal container system as a method of delivery for WMD or WME.

Working from proven tracking technologies for chassis, gensets and port management, PAR LMS developed an entire systems solution that monitors intermodal containers throughout the cycle. The Cargo*Watch® System is designed to track and monitor intermodal containers throughout the supply chain and provide timely, and accurate information on container and cargo status and location.
