Electronic Cargo Custody Product
Digit E-Lock
Locked By Command. Opened By Permission.
The Digit E-Lock is a keyless, motor-driven lock for vehicle cargo doors — nothing to cut, nothing to pick, no key to copy or hand over. As a result, the right to open a cargo door becomes an operational decision: commanded, time-stamped and reported to your platform.
Why It Exists
You Don’t Lose Cargo When It Moves — You Lose It When Anyone Can Open The Door
A padlock is an invitation with a keyhole. A seal is a receipt for a theft that already happened. Between the depot and the drop, the doors open — at a robot, a lay-by, a dock — yet nobody in the operation decided they should.
Instead, the Digit E-Lock is built on a different premise: because the right to open a cargo door is an operational decision, it should answer only to the operation. Mounted inside the compartment — or externally behind a welded steel cover — it answers to command, never to a bolt cutter’s convenience.
What It Does
Digit E-Lock: Lock It. Command It. Prove It.

Six Ways The Digit E-Lock Pays For Itself
Theft Stopped At The Door
Physical denial before the loss — not evidence after it. As a result, the two things cargo crime depends on, an attackable lock and an unaccountable opening, are removed.
Cold Chain Protected
Instead, doors open only where and when the operation decides — because every unauthorised opening is a temperature excursion waiting to be explained.
Hygiene Certification Defended
Controlled access with a disinfectable ABS cover, because food-chain and pharma vehicles must be cleaned with dedicated chemical agents.
Insurance Exposure Reduced
A commanded, logged custody trail on every trip — so “who opened it?” turns from a dispute into a record your insurer can read.
The Seal Economy Ended
No consumables, no copies, no roadside discretion — and, above all, no seal budget quietly burning every month.
Accountability Restored
Who opened what, when, on whose authority — in short, every trip is commanded, time-stamped and reported to the platform.
Proven across 250 000+ locks in seven years of production — supplied into major South African cargo-security projects with zero claims received.
