Webb Transit Tracking
Real time GPS monitoring
of cargo in transit
Webb Transit Tracking is Webb Fontaine’s GPS/GSM cargo monitoring solution for goods moving under customs transit procedures. It connects vehicle tracking with customs supervision so journeys can be followed from departure to arrival.
Cargo Tracking
Deterring illegal dumping in the local market of cargo declared in transit
GPS/GSM Trackers affixed onto trucks
GPS/GSM trackers are fixed to each truck and transmit its position, speed and direction every 60 seconds. This gives customs a continuous record of the journey from departure to arrival, and an alert if the cable seal is opened or cut.
24/7 remote monitoring
Customs officers follow every transit journey live from a control room, day and night, and are alerted automatically when something needs attention.
- By Customs in a Control Room
- Geolocation platform
- Automatic alerts
- Dispatch of rapid intervention patrols
Protects Customs Revenue
Every journey is followed from departure to arrival, so cargo declared for transit reaches its declared destination instead of being diverted into the local market. That keeps the duties and taxes owed to the state from being lost.
Protects Consumers
Keeping transit goods on their approved route helps stop substandard or illegal products from reaching local shops and consumers.
Trade Facilitation
- No more customs escort. Immediate departure
- No more checks on the way
- Transporters can follow their trucks in real time
The Geolocation Platform
Live trips monitored by customs from the control room, 24/7
The geolocation platform gives customs teams a live view of monitored transit journeys from a control room. Predefined geofenced corridors and automatic alerts help officers identify route deviations or incidents. Departure and arrival events are recorded automatically, with journey reports available in PDF format.

The advantages of Webb Transit Tracking
Prevents illegal dumping of goods in transit
Prévention du dumping illégal de marchandises en transit
Предотвращение незаконного сбыта грузов в пути
Through continuous tracking, the movement of goods is verified at every stage of the journey, deterring illicit activities and illegal dumping of goods.
Total protection of customs revenue
Préservation absolue des recettes douanières
Полная защита таможенных поступлений
By providing real-time monitoring of transit cargo, it significantly reduces the risks of the goods being illegally dumped into the local economy, thus safeguarding government revenue.
Protects population from poor quality and illegal products
Protège la population contre les produits de mauvaise qualité et illégaux
Защита населения от некачественной и нелегальной продукции
Webb Transit Tracking prevents the introduction of substandard, dangerous and illegal products in the domestic market, thereby safeguarding the health and safety of the population.
Empowers customs officers with complete visibility
Une visibilité totale pour les douaniers
Полная прозрачность для сотрудников таможни
Customs officers have full visibility over the movement of transit goods, enabling them to monitor shipments and respond promptly to any deviations from geofenced corridors or stops in unapproved locations.
No more escorts – depart as soon as your truck is loaded
Plus d'escortes – départ dès le chargement du camion
Больше никакого сопровождения — отправление сразу после загрузки
With real-time tracking, the need for physical escorts is eliminated. Trucks can depart as soon as they are loaded. Checkpoints and controls on route are also eliminated, thus optimising transit times and reducing operational costs.
The Guinea success story
26% increase of import declarations with the end transit fraud
- 20% drop in transit declarations (fraudulent transit eliminated)
- 26% imports increase (home consumption)
Use cases
Webb Transit Tracking supports several types of customs-supervised transport movement. These include international transit, transfers from ports to bonded warehouses and the monitoring of deliveries linked to petroleum transport billing. Each use case applies journey visibility to a different control or verification requirement.

BL Transire
Tracking between ports and Free Zones/bonded warehouses
BL Transire tracking monitors containers and vehicles moving between ports, free zones and bonded warehouses. Registration is taken directly from the manifested bills of lading in the customs system, so nothing needs to be entered by hand. In Nigeria, approval that once took five days and nine stamps from nine different officers is now immediate.

BEFORE:
5 days customs approval process
9 stamps from 9 different officers
AFTER:
Immediate transfer approval by default
- Containers and vehicles
- No data entry (registration from manifested BLs in customs system)
- Customs approval by default (no waiting time)
- Automatic arming of trackers from mobile app
- Automated validation of transfer journeys: no extra HR required
- Can be managed by Free Zone operators themselves
Fighting transport billing fraud for petroleum products
Petroleum transport monitoring helps verify whether a delivery has reached its declared destination before transport costs are approved. Where a country covers petroleum transport charges, confirmation of arrival can support an “OK to pay” decision and computerised reporting. This applies cargo tracking to the specific problem of transport billing fraud.
- Some countries cover transportation costs for petroleum products
- Automatic confirmation of delivery at the declared location
- Issuance of an «OK to pay»
- Computerised reporting
