Abstract

An improved method and system for monitoring and initiating a logistics response related to a node-enabled logistics receptacle to be serviced by a logistics asset. A sensor-based node disposed within the node-enabled logistics receptacle detects movement associated with the node-enabled logistics receptacle. The sensor-based node transmits an alert notification to a backend server, the alert notification identifying the node-enabled logistics receptacle and informing the backend server of the movement in response to detecting the movement. The backend server alerts the logistics asset about the detected movement associated with the node-enabled logistics receptacle causing the logistics asset to alter a dispatched logistics operation to be conducted by the logistics asset relative to the node-enabled logistics receptacle.
