theft PREVENTION
Stop cargo theft before it becomes a loss
Cargo theft costs the industry an estimated $35 billion a year and organized crime is getting faster. Theft Prevention monitors every shipment in your network simultaneously, automatically contacts carriers the moment something looks wrong, and closes incidents in minutes. Built on insights from 1.5 billion annual shipments and 259,000 active carriers.
Detect risk events and respond instantly
01
Shipment in transit: The platform monitors truck movement and geofences across the route.
02
Risk signal detected: Route deviation, theft hotspot entry, or abnormal dwell triggers an exception.
03
AI Agent contacts carrier: Carrier outreach begins immediately to verify shipment status.
04
Teams receive verified exception: Operations teams see confirmed risk events and can intervene quickly.
Core Capabilities
Zone Monitoring
Define safe and risky geofences directly in the platform — theft hotspots, border crossings, and secure parking locations. Receive alerts when shipments approach, enter, dwell in, or exit a zone, with context on location, timing, and recommended next action. project44 also maintains a regularly updated list of cargo theft hotspots sourced from industry data.
Route Deviation
An ML model trained on 1.5 billion annual shipments compares actual truck movement against baseline routes, detecting both distance-based and time-based deviations in near-real time. When a predefined route isn’t available, the model automatically derives a baseline from historical lane data. Each deviation generates a timestamped exception with full shipment context.
Idle Detection
An AI model monitors unscheduled vehicle idling, combining speed, engine status, and optional door sensor signals to distinguish real idle events from planned stops. When a vehicle idles past a configurable threshold, the platform raises an exception with idle duration, location, and zone context, so teams can act during the highest-risk windows of a shipment’s journey.
AI Agents
When a risk exception occurs, an AI Agent automatically contacts the carrier to verify shipment status, confirm driver location, and escalate if contact can’t be established. No waiting. No manual escalation.
The only theft prevention with network-scale intelligence.
Theft Prevention runs on project44’s Decision Intelligence Platform: the network trusted by more than 1,000 enterprise shippers to move freight across 170+ countries.
That means an ML route deviation model trained on real shipment data, auto-derived baselines when no predefined route exists, and AI Agents that act on exceptions the moment they’re flagged.
