Pleasanton, CA, October 25, 2022 --- DeltaTrak, a leading innovator of cold chain and supply chain management solutions, is proud to announce partnership with Optimiz, a London-based technology company. Currently, exporters who utilize DeltaTrak in-transit solutions can see the real-time location and condition of their perishable cargo while in-transit. As a result of the Optimiz partnership, customers who experience cargo damage can immediately begin the insurance claims process. Using Optimiz, a customer is able to issue a letter of protest while the shipment is still on the ocean.

“Time is always of the essence when handling perishables. This partnership with DeltaTrak is certainly a game changer for international traders as they can now commence their claims process by issuing an automated notice of loss even before the vessel arrives at its final destination. This guarantees that the consignee is never out of time, and always in compliance with Article 3, Rule 6 of the Hague/Hague Visby Rules,” Kingsly Kongnyuh Kwalar, CEO of Optimiz.

The new claims function is a value-added feature included with DeltaTrak’s FlashTrak Cloud Services platform. FlashTrak offers a suite of services, enabling customers to view real-time location, temperature, humidity, light exposure, and shock data for domestic and international shipments. FlashTrak Chain of Custody, another service recently launched by DeltaTrak, aggregates data contributed by consortium partners to provide complete supply chain traceability. FlashTrak CoC helps customers respond to expanded Food Safety Modernization Act recordkeeping requirements (FSMA 204).

“As a frontrunner in the industry, DeltaTrak is constantly expanding our products and services to meet customer requirements. Giving exporters the power to manage the insurance claims process while in-transit, is the first of its kind and an example of DeltaTrak’s ability to consistently deliver new use cases to support our customers,” Frederick Wu, President and Founder of DeltaTrak.

  • DeltaTrak’s Real Time Loggers have been a game changer for our trucking program. Having the ability to monitor temperature while trucks are in transit has given us peace of mind knowing the quality of our product has not been compromised. The alert notifications, light sensors, and GPS tracking are just some of the great features that have allowed us to make pro active decisions that have strengthened the integrity of our product. The FlashTrak Cloud Service is easy to use and is a great tool to compare and analyze data. The FlashTrak App is super convenient as well. We have used other reliable DeltaTrak products for many years and we were excited to see these added to their lineup!

  • When it comes to making sense of data (in the supply chain) we have found a partner in DeltaTrak. The fact that I could recharge the real-time logger and the dual batteries made a lot of sense to me. It was user friendly and easy to use. With the uncertainty and complexity of today's supply chain, having an effective chain of custody system is not only a clever idea, but a requirement for effective handling of perishable goods.

  • It is my pleasure to recommend DeltaTrak to your company. During these times of crisis, we were fortunate to work with DeltaTrak to source top of the line Non-Contact forehead thermometers and PPE supplies at a real market price.

    As a healthcare organization, we are a common target for price gouging and abusive practices from several vendors. With DeltaTrak, we found a partner that understands our needs and who always provide world class customer service.

  • Dear Fred, I would like express my appreciation for the good business relationship we have had during 2018. The excellent work of Mr. Jorge Hurtado has given me the confidence to continue maintaining our commercial relationship with the DeltaTrak brand.

    Mr. Jorge Hurtado's customer service efforts are outstanding, especially in finding solutions to the challenges that may arise in the commercial process. In my opinion Mr. Hurtado's professionalism is a model for any company, especially when the client is thousands of kilometers away from Modesto, CA. I look forward to strengthening our successful relationship into 2019.
