Reduce Shipping Damage, Cut Costs with Impact Detectors

Shipping damage can be a huge drain on your company’s finances. Not only does it lead to a lost product, but it can also cause a range of other expensive issues like customer dissatisfaction and disloyalty, delays, interruptions, discounts, and shipping costs (perhaps expedited) for replacements. And that’s not even to mention the harm that shipping damage can do to the environment — extra shipping burns extra fuel and requires extra resources, after all. In order to reduce shipping damage, you need information — information about what your packages go through during shipping. You need to know if they’ve been dropped or jostled, experienced high levels of vibration in transit, been left out in the cold or allowed to get too hot. Impact and vibration sensors can give you that data, so you can make important changes to your shipping practices — like changing routes, methods, or packaging. That means you can reduce shipping damage and improve your bottom line.
