How Grey Market Leakage Happens in Cement
Grey market diversion in cement takes three common forms:
Territorial diversion: Cement allocated to a low-price zone is diverted to a high-price zone and sold at a premium — with the transporter or driver pocketing the price differential.
Unauthorized dealer sales: Trucks stop at unregistered dealer locations or roadside points and offload a portion of the cement before reaching the assigned dealer.
Back-unloading diversion: Partial unloading at the assigned dealer, with remaining cement sold at an unauthorized location on the return journey.
All three scenarios involve trucks that appear to be following the route on GPS — but are conducting unauthorized activity during brief stops.
Why GPS Alone Cannot Detect Grey Market
GPS tracking shows where a truck is — it cannot distinguish:
Detecting grey market requires activity sensing — the ability to classify what physically happened at every halt.
Intugine's Grey Market Detection System
Activity Sensing at Every Stop
Intugine's proprietary algorithm monitors truck activity continuously. At every halt, it classifies:Real-Time Diversion Alerts
Suspicious halt classifications trigger instant alerts to the logistics control tower. Teams can call the driver, check the location, and intervene — before the diversion is complete.Route Deviation Monitoring
FASTag toll data and GPS combine to validate the route taken. Any deviation from the assigned distribution route triggers a flag.Grey Market Incident Reporting
Every suspected diversion event is logged with timestamp, location, activity data, and confidence score — creating an audit trail for transporter accountability.Business Impact
