Systems and methods for tracking location and monitoring environmental conditions of an asset in transit

A system, comprising:

• at least one server node comprising at least one processor, and a system memory configured to store program code, wherein the program code is executable by the at least one processor to implement an asset tracking and monitoring system that is configured to:
• receive monitored information transmitted from a wireless communications device of a shipping label affixed to an asset being shipped by a registered user from an origin location to a destination location;
• store the received monitored information in a database and associate the received monitored information with the registered user, wherein the received monitored information is associated with the registered user using a unique identifier of the shipping label which is included with the received monitored information, wherein the unique identifier of the shipping label is associated with the registered user during a shipping label provisioning process;
• render and present stored monitored information on a computing device of the registered user;
• maintain a database of historical transit and asset delivery performance information for a shipping carrier utilized by the registered user for shipping assets of the registered user, wherein the historical transit and asset delivery performance information is derived at least in part from the monitored information;
• analyze the historical transit and asset delivery performance information against time-in-transit information provided by the shipping carrier to determine an effectiveness of the shipping carrier in providing overnight shipping services for assets of the registered user;
• and
• automatically provide a recommendation to the registered user for utilizing an overnight shipping service of the shipping carrier based on results of said analyzing.
