A Southern Africa AEO/OEA cargo-security pilot recorded 137 shipments, 194 seals, 331 registered users, more than 50 active participants and 55 training sessions, with no undetected breaches reported in the final documentation.
SIMS designs custody systems that combine physical controls, shipment events, routes, partners, escalation and evidence. The same method supports proactive corridor design and post-incident reconstruction.
What SIMS does here
Custody mapping & handoff control
End-to-end custody mapping and handoff controls, every point where responsibility changes hands, documented and controlled.
Seals, tracking & site controls
Seal discipline, tracking and telemetry, conveyance and facility controls, and the SOPs that keep them running.
Investigations & incident response
Incident reconstruction, root-cause analysis, liability mapping, corrective action, and evidence packages.
Secure corridors & green lanes
Secure-corridor and green-lane pilots built around verified shipment evidence.
Diversion & gray-market defense
Diversion detected by reconciling movement against authorized sales, then evidenced to the point where it can be acted on.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this for?
Customs administrations, shippers, carriers, manufacturers, security leaders, insurers, and anyone moving high-value or high-risk cargo.
Where do we start?
Usually with custody mapping: establishing what the authorized chain is supposed to be, before measuring what it actually is.
Certification, validation, refund and clearance are agency decisions and are never guaranteed. Recovery amounts and timelines depend on the facts.
Bring one lane. We walk the custody chain handoff by handoff and show where it cannot be proven.
