How we can help...
We offer tilt indicators & impact indicators for maximum handling accountability. Aside from accountability, they act as a damage deterrent. Holding shippers and handlers accountable during transit reduces the damage potential significantly.
Shippers use shock indicators to secure shipments and reduce the frequency of unreported damage, the supply chain knows how to deal with packages affixed with the devices, therefore when equipped with a device the package gets the handling care it requires. Once they find an item affixed with a shock indicator, they will be fully focused on processing them to avoid activating the device. Since the device is single-use, and tamperproof, they can not reset it and removing it should be considered the same as if it was activated. If it’s somehow activated during their handling, they will know that they are monitored, and they carry the liability of it.
What’s better, the monitoring system of the device even helps us identify the trouble spots in the supply chain for shipping. Hence, we have the opportunity to improve, innovate, and achieve the goal of zero loss for both the manufacturer and the consumer.
