Airports & Duty Free Logistics
Secure accountability from distribution centre to departure gate.
Airports operate some of the most secure and time-sensitive supply chains in the world. High-value goods move through multiple handlers, restricted areas and secure storage locations before reaching retail outlets.
Knowing where stock is located is important.
Knowing what happened to it is even more valuable.
SMART TOTE provides a digital chain of custody, helping airport retailers and logistics providers maintain accountability throughout every stage of the journey
The Challenge
Duty free and airport retail operations rely on goods moving securely between distribution centers, transport providers, airport warehouses and retail stores.
When discrepancies occur, organisations need answers.
Was the container opened during transit?
Where did accountability change?
Was the shipment received intact?
Who was responsible at each stage?
Is there evidence to support an investigation?
Traditional tracking systems provide location information but often cannot verify what happened between departure and arrival.
The SMART TOTE solution
SMART TOTE transforms a reusable logistics tote into an intelligent, connected asset.
Each protected journey can include:
Secure arming before dispatch.
Monitoring throughout transport.
Detection of unauthorised opening.
Tamper alerts.

A complete forensic event history for every protected shipment.
The result is a verifiable chain of custody from warehouse to airport retail outlet.
