Understanding product damage in supply chains
Data analysis is becoming increasingly important for businesses in the age of digitalisation. Data enables better decisions to be made in order to achieve business objectives. In transport and logistics departments, collected transport data can help to optimise supply chains and minimise transport damage. By using transport trackers, companies gain access to data that provides deep insights into supply chains and offers real-time information on transport conditions during product dispatch, enabling them to optimise supply chains and prevent damage in transit. Find out more in our white paper.
Assessment of the total cost of damage
Assessing the total cost of damage within a company is a key task in reducing the damage rate in the long term. Whilst the direct costs of damage are often attributed to the logistics or packaging department, the true costs of transport damage are borne by the organisation as a whole and indirectly affect many departments and decision-making processes. Taking measures to reduce damage costs – regardless of the department – is a decision that pays off in the long term. In transport monitoring, Monitoring systems have proven their worth in significantly reducing the damage rate during transit and in warehousing, and in optimising supply chains in the long term.

Supply chains in the consumer electronics sector
Every electronic product is exposed to adverse conditions at some stage during transport. Vibrations, tilting, impacts, temperature fluctuations and extreme humidity can easily cause damage to products within the supply chain, resulting in significant follow-on costs for the manufacturer. Companies that have analysed transport damage within the supply chain and used this data to solve the problem – for example, by integrating a monitoring system – have been able to significantly reduce customer warranty claims and repair costs.

Development of risk management programmes and prevention of shipments
Freight forwarders and businesses can make significant cost savings by preventing transport damage. Risk management programmes within the supply chain have proven to be a reliable way of preventing damage during the transport of goods. In our white paper, we explain how to set up a risk management system, what to look out for and how to prevent transport damage in order to save costs in the long term.
Understanding and successfully optimising cold chains
Maintaining the cold chain and monitoring temperature are vital when transporting food, medicines and chemical products in order to ensure product safety. Increasingly sensitive products require, by law, reliable proof that they have been transported at the correct temperatures and that the cold chain has been maintained. Temperature monitoring – for example, using data loggers – has therefore become a key business decision. Read our white paper to find out how you can monitor the temperature and maintain the cold chain when transporting your goods.
Effective monitoring of supply chains in the aviation sector
Monitoring the supply chain is extremely important in aircraft manufacturing in order to comply with safety standards and prevent aircraft disasters caused by damaged components. Although the components used in aircraft manufacturing are inherently very robust, they can still be damaged during transport and storage, potentially leading to serious accidents. Read our white paper to find out how supply chains in the aviation industry can be monitored and how shock and transport data loggers help to protect aircraft components from damage during transport.
