At Surfact, we’re proud to announce a groundbreaking milestone: we’re the first in the world to implement 100% global satellite connectivity for cargo tracking. With our revolutionary sensor, Emma, encased in sustainable ocean-plastic housing, we’re transforming the way food and pharmaceuticals are transported, helping to reduce waste and secure supply chains like never before.
Tackling a Global Challenge
Every year, one-third of all food and medicine is wasted due to poor transport conditions. We believe this is unacceptable, and we’re here to change it. Traditional methods that rely on manual readings and GSM coverage can’t keep up with the demands of modern logistics. That’s why we developed Emma, a smart, real-time tracking solution designed to provide complete control over critical shipments.
With Emma, we’re giving businesses the tools to act before it’s too late, saving shipments, reducing waste, and protecting the planet. “Our technology lets you see, act, and improve at every step of the journey,” says Per Magne Helseth, our CEO and founder.
Why Satellite Technology Changes Everything
For years, the logistics industry has been constrained by limited GSM coverage, which only spans 15% of the globe. That’s not good enough. That’s why, by 2025, we’re transitioning to satellite connectivity, ensuring our clients can monitor their shipments anywhere on Earth—no exceptions.
With Emma, businesses gain real-time insights into temperature, light, shock, and movement, enabling immediate action when anomalies occur. Our cloud-based platform ensures that every shipment is visible, secure, and optimized for efficiency.
Sustainability: Our Guiding Principle
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Emma’s casing is crafted from recycled ocean plastic, and with a two-year battery life, it’s built to last and minimize waste. We’re not just reducing food and medicine waste; we’re tackling plastic pollution and promoting a circular economy.
When you choose Surfact, you’re choosing a smarter, more sustainable future for logistics.
Proven Success, Global Reach
Our technology is already in use across 12 countries, including the USA, Germany, and the Nordics. From Norwegian salmon exporters ensuring their fish arrives fresh on global markets, to European pharmacies protecting sensitive medications, we’re proud to support businesses that demand reliability and precision.
With major brands—like a leading fast-food chain in the Nordics—already on board, our track record speaks for itself. The upcoming shift to satellite tracking will only expand our capabilities, helping us deliver even greater value to our clients.
Building the Future from Norway
From our headquarters in a repurposed train station in Oslo, we’re driving innovation and sustainability in logistics. Our mission is simple: to provide a solution that’s easy to use, impactful, and accessible for businesses worldwide.
As we prepare for the satellite rollout in 2025, we’re excited about what’s next. This is more than just technology—it’s a vision for a better future.
