Strapsense
The Buddy System
Safer Roads with Monitored Loads
Unsecured loads still put lives at risk on every road.
Real-time strap tension monitoring, so drivers know before a load lets go.
How it works
Sensor. App. Alert. IVMS.
The Buddy System watches strap tension in real time, so a load problem shows up for the driver, not on the road.
01Sensor
Weatherproof sensors clip to the tie-down straps and actively measure tension in real time.
In development
02App
A companion app (in development) for multi-sensor monitoring, history, and eventual software-first operation.
Tension alert
Strap B below baseline. Inspect before moving.
A
OK
B
Low
C
OK
03Alert
If tension drops out of range, the driver gets a clear, real-time signal. Not after the fact.
- IVMS integrationLive
For fleets that already run in-cab monitoring.
04IVMS
For fleets that already have in-cab monitoring, tension alerts can sit with the IVMS you already run.
Built for
Owners, managers, and operators who understand that straps come loose during movement, when the driver cannot physically check tension.
Why it matters
Unsecured loads still cause deaths, fines, and downtime.
Visual checks can miss what is happening silently. The Buddy System closes that gap.
Hard to see
Once a load is moving, a loosened strap is easy to miss until something fails.
High consequence
Fatalities, injuries, environmental damage, insurance hits, and downtime.
Earlier action
Real-time alerts give drivers a chance to rectify an error.
Industries
Built for teams moving serious loads.

View industrySafety & compliance
Duty of care doesn't stop when the truck leaves the yard.
Manual checks miss what happens in motion. The Buddy System gives drivers and HSE teams a live signal when strap tension drops, so risk conversations are based on what's happening now, not the last walk-around.
Credibility
Engineered for people who move serious loads.
Fleet owners, HSE managers, and site operators buy risk reduction, not hype. The Buddy System is built that way.
Built from the field
Founders and advisors with Defence, security, oil & gas, and open-pit mining backgrounds. Not a consumer app team guessing at industrial risk.
Western Australia base
Strapsense, Perth, Western Australia. Designed around Australian roads, worksites, and the people who run them.
Built with operators
We're talking to owners, managers, and operators about fit, fleet needs, and what has to be true in the field.
Operational practicality
Attach, pair, set a baseline, monitor, respond. Built for the cab and the yard.
