Swiss start-up closes gap between GPS and RFID tracking

Kizy – a complete and simple solution for global object tracking – closes the gap between today’s offering of GPS-based telematics for transport vehicles and waypoint tracking of parcels and containers using barcodes or RFID-tags. Thanks to its small size, the K-1 GSM tracker fits everywhere: a container, a pallet, a parcel or an envelope. It stays with the object to follow everywhere in the world. The customer benefits from a continuous tracking from sender to receiver. The solution has been presented recently at Transport Logistics China 2014, the largest exhibition for logistics, mobility, IT services and supply chain management in Asia.

Near-real time tracking for the cost of 1 SMS per day
“With the K-1 GSM tracker, Kizy now enables to follow objects where continuous tracking was not economically reasonable before. We lead the way to a continuous analysis of logistic processes and better customer services. The XXIst century’s logistics will be smart and connected. A fascinating market,” concludes Ruud Riem-Vis, CEO of Kizy Tracking Inc.

Kizy operates on the existing mobile communication network (GSM). Contrary to GPS-based tracking systems, Kizy uses minimal energy consumption, has low operating costs and is able to locate objects inside buildings and containers. The suggested end-user price of the K-1 GSM tracker is US$35 and the online tracking service starts at US$0.25 per day. The cost of use is therefore less than one-tenth compared to competing GPS solutions on the market.
