Abstract: A method and system enables a transporter of cargo to receive real-time status data from an active “tag” device with a sensor affixed to the cargo by connecting the tag device with a mobile application, or “app,” downloaded on a delivery driver's smart phone. The sensor data from the device combines with the geo-location data available on the delivery driver phone to provide the originator with real time status of his cargo and exact geo-location during transit from warehouse to delivery destination.
