Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) made it to the Top Three Finalists out of 65 entrants in the DHL Now and Next: Fast Forward Logistics Challenge, held last week in Austin, Texas, in the USA.

The event brought together over 500 global executives from Fortune 200 companies, along with DHL leadership and venture partners, to spotlight the world’s most promising logistics innovations. “Bloodhound Tracking Device was thrilled to be one of the finalists presenting at the DHL’s Now and Next event in Austin last week—and we’re honoured to be able to present to such a robust group of Global Logistics Professionals all assembled in Austin,” said Curtis Spencer, CEO of Bloodhound Tracking Device.

“It was an incredible opportunity to demonstrate what we’re building, connect with logistics leaders, and validate the urgent need for smarter visibility tools across the global supply chain. We’re excited to continue deeper conversations with organizations ready to enhance visibility, security, and operational success across their networks.”

Recent research estimates annual theft losses at about $520,000 per carrier and $1.84 million per logistics provider, underscoring the ROI for better visibility and control. Bloodhound directly addresses this gap with an affordable, covert, real-time tracking solution that delivers operational control and resilience at scale.

Its technology integrates triple-redundant connectivity (cellular, SATCOM, and mesh), environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, CO₂, methane, shock, tamper, and door-event imaging), and AI-powered data feeds for secure API integration—all backed by a 24/7 operations centre.

Proven in Global Trials:

  • Over 174,000 miles of successful global freight trials with a 98.3% communications success rate
  • Continuous visibility across ocean, air, and over-the-road shipments
  • Actionable alerts for breaches, motion, and environmental changes
  • Flexible rental model enabling rapid deployment across fleets

Bloodhound’s roadmap includes the addition of a fentanyl sensor in 2026, further enhancing visibility and compliance for high-risk cargo. The company continues to expand partnerships with logistics providers, 3PLs, and shippers seeking scalable tools to reduce theft, protect assets, and improve operational performance.
