The New Era of Safe Electronics Logistics: From Protection to Prevention

In the transportation of electronics and home appliances such as TVs, audiovisual devices, semiconductors, or high-tech home appliances, risks go far beyond traffic collisions. Even a slight vibration, a sudden temperature shift, or humidity exceeding safe limits can cause losses worth billions of VND.

For years, insurance has been viewed as “a financial shield” for cargo owners. However, experience shows that having insurance does not guarantee peace of mind if risks are not managed from the start.

The Gap in Passive Insurance

Many businesses share that when incidents occur, the process of claiming insurance can be even more challenging than repairing the initial damage. Insurance claims require solid evidence—time of damage, cargo condition, cause of the accident, and more.

Without transparent data, cargo owners often end up in a passive position, sometimes having to bear losses themselves due to a lack of convincing evidence..

In fact, some companies have chosen not to file claims at all, fearing that the lengthy process could freeze their cash flow and disrupt upcoming delivery schedules.

A Real Lesson: Bearing the Loss Despite Being Insured

In June 2023, on Highway 13 (Binh Duong), a container carrying electronic goods such as TVs and air conditioners overturned while navigating a curve. Dozens of items were damaged, with total losses estimated at billions of VND. But the real issue extended beyond physical damage.

The company reportedly struggled with the insurance provider due to missing journey data (speed, turning angle, impact time) and the lack of electronic records showing the cargo’s condition before handover. As a result, all evidence had to be collected manually, leading to disputes, delays, and financial strain.

This case clearly demonstrates that the greatest risk is not the accident itself – but the inability to prove you are right.

The Shift: From Passive Insurance to Proactive Safety

In response, many cargo owners and logistics providers are shifting toward a proactive risk management model – combining insurance with preventive measures:

• Real-time monitoring & sensor technology: Track temperature, humidity, and vibration, with instant alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
• Digital journey data & documentation: GPS, cameras, and e-records enable faster, more transparent insurance handling.
• Standardized packing & securing for electronic goods: Anti-shock packaging, weight balancing, and sensitive component protection.
• Driver training in evidence preservation: Beyond safe driving, drivers are trained to record incidents properly in accordance with insurance procedures.

This proactive approach helps businesses minimize physical losses, shorten claim assessment times, and maintain healthy cash flow – rather than waiting for compensation after damage occurs.
