Concepts for monitoring shipments

A method for configuring a shipment monitoring system configured for monitoring a plurality of shipments comprising the following steps:

• receiving customer data comprising customer-defined shipping requirements for a customer;
• at least partially in response to the receiving of the customer-defined shipping requirements, automatically decoding, by an electronic control module (ECM) device, real-time tracking data received from a location sensor and received from one or more telematics sensors coupled to a first transporter that carries a first shipment, wherein the real-time tracking data received from the location sensor indicates a geolocation of the first transporter, and wherein the real-time tracking data received from the telematics sensor indicates real-time attributes of the first transporter;
• presenting the decoded real-time tracking data to a communication bus to transfer the decoded real-time tracking data to a data collection device;
• transmitting, by the data collection device, the decoded real-time tracking data to a carrier server,
• at least partially in response to the transmitting of the decoded real-time tracking data to the carrier server and based at least in part on analyzing the decoded real-time tracking data, identifying a first shipment associated with the customer, and determining geo-coordinates associated with the first transporter;
• causing generation, in response to the analyzing of the decoded real-time tracking data for the first shipment, of an interactive user interface that includes a first transporter indicator representing the geo-coordinates of the first transporter;
• based at least in part on the analyzing of the decoded real-time tracking data and, determining that the first shipment is at risk of failing to comply with the customer-defined shipping requirements of the customer;
• and
• based on the determining that the first shipment is at risk of failing to comply with the customer-defined shipping requirements, causing display of the first transporter indicator that indicates that the first shipment is at risk of failing to comply with the customer-defined shipping requirements;

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions for:

• receiving customer data comprising one or more customer-defined shipping requirements for a customer;
• at least partially in response to the receiving of the customer-defined shipping requirements, obtaining, via an electronic control module (ECM) device, decoded real-time tracking data received from a location sensor and received from one or more telematics sensors coupled to a first transporter that carries a first shipment, wherein the real-time tracking data received from the location sensor indicates a geolocation of the first transporter, and wherein the real-time tracking data received from the telematics sensor indicates real-time attributes of the first transporter;
• at least partially in response to the obtaining of the decoded real-time tracking data and based at least in part on analyzing the decoded real-time tracking data, identifying a first shipment associated with the customer, and determining geo-coordinates associated with the first transporter;
• causing generation, in response to the analyzing of the decoded real-time tracking data for the first shipment, of an interactive user interface that includes a first transporter indicator representing the geo-coordinates of the first transporter;
• based at least in part on the analyzing of the decoded real-time tracking data, determining that the first shipment is at risk of failing to comply with the one or more customer-defined shipping requirements of the customer;
• and
• based on the determining that the first shipment is at risk of failing to comply with the one or more customer-defined shipping requirements, causing display of the first transporter indicator to indicate that the first shipment is at risk of failing to comply with the one or more customer-defined shipping requirements.
