In other words, the DB SCHENKERsmartbox provides certainty in an area in which reliable information has been missing in the past.

The DB SCHENKERsmartbox is a new recording and transmission unit that can be used anywhere in the world. It is the result of an extended practical development process by our sea freight experts in cooperation with leading companies.
