Cargo theft: the problem isn’t the thief. It’s his invisibility. Today’s perpetrators operate from the inside, not the outside. As drivers. As warehouse staff. As dispatchers.

76% of cargo theft in logistics in 2024 happened directly out of vehicles.<\/p>\n

The real problem is structural. Once someone has built insider knowledge inside a supply chain, they can carry that knowledge across employer changes, carrier changes, and new identities. Site bans stay local. Background checks filter only the coarsest cases. Blacklist sharing, in its previous form, has been unlawful since GDPR.
\nAnd conventional biometric one-to-one checks only confirm whether a person matches the credential they present, not whether that same person is already active in the system under a different identity.<\/p>\n

The result: repeat offenders regain access to security-sensitive positions despite prior red flags, identity changes, and employer changes. Undetected.<\/p>\n

What’s needed isn’t another document. It’s a different logic. One that starts with the person, not the paperwork, applied continuously, across company lines, and in a privacy-compliant way. The entire supply chain industry and retailers are currently working on solutions to this exact problem.<\/p>\n
