Global – October 29, 2026 -- SpotSee has matched five impact-monitoring products to distinct receiving decisions, ranging from a battery-free visual indicator to cellular-connected recorders that report shock data while cargo is still moving.

Shipment profile comes before technology choice

SpotSee lists nine factors to assess first: product fragility, shipment weight, packaging configuration, transportation method, handling environment, shipment value, consequences of damage, the impact level that could compromise the product, and what receiving or quality teams will do after a detected impact. Monitors complement validated packaging design and testing rather than replace them. For sensitivity selection, SpotSee points to its ShockWatch Calculator instead of generic weight-based rules.
