Cargotec‘s business areas – Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor – are
leading players in their fields, and they have a unique position to
optimize global cargo flows and create sustainable customer value.

problems arise. It will also help Cargotec develop insightful
data-driven services.

benefits for Cargotec, enabling new digital services and delivering
a much higher degree of operational efficiency, both internally and
further down the value chain at the customer level. These include:
seamless IoT SIM card ordering, simple activation and tracking
through a dedicated portal; one price per IoT SIM card regardless
of location; and scalable connectivity reaching 220 countries and
territories.

with local support everywhere in the world, and an attractive
business model are vital for us to become the leader in intelligent
cargo handling. We chose Orange Business Services for these
