SpotSee Cloud
Turn Every Scan Into Actionable Supply Chain Data
SpotSee Cloud connects SpotSee’s QR-enabled condition indicators to a single, easy-to-use digital platform. With a smartphone scan, users can document product condition at critical points throughout the supply chain and make that information available to authorized stakeholders through a secure web portal.
There is no app to download, no specialized reader to purchase and no complex hardware to install. Every scan creates a digital data point that helps customers understand what happened, where it happened and when the product was checked.
One platform. Every SpotSee QR-enabled product. Greater visibility from the first mile to the last.
How SpotSee Cloud Works
SpotSee Cloud transforms a visual condition check into a retrievable digital record.
1. Apply the Indicator
Select the appropriate SpotSee QR-enabled indicator for the condition you need to monitor, including temperature, freeze, shock or tilt. Apply and activate the indicator according to the product instructions.
Each indicator has a unique QR code that serves as its serialized identifier and connects it to an individual record in SpotSee Cloud. Explore the complete SpotSee QR-enabled monitoring portfolio to find the right condition indicator for your application.
2. Scan With a Smartphone
At shipping, receipt or another important handoff, scan the QR code using the camera on a smartphone. No dedicated mobile app or specialized scanning hardware is required.
The user follows a simple, guided workflow to document the indicator’s condition. Depending on the product and workflow, the scan may capture:
- Indicator condition or activation status
- Unique serial number
- Date and time
- Location, when location permission is provided
- An image of the indicator
- Scan and condition history
- Customer-entered shipment or asset information
3. Upload the Record
The scan information is sent to SpotSee Cloud, creating a digital record tied to that specific indicator.
The QR code acts as the connection to the record; the complete shipment record is maintained in SpotSee Cloud rather than stored locally on the physical indicator.
This combination of visual indication and cloud-connected data helps organizations add digital visibility across temperature, freeze, shock and tilt monitoring.
4. Access Data Through the Web Portal
Authorized users can sign in to the SpotSee Cloud web portal to review indicator status and shipment records from virtually anywhere.
The portal provides visibility across shipments, indicators and handling points, allowing teams to review individual records or identify broader trends within their supply chains.
5. Use the Insights
Digital records help customers move from simply identifying a condition event to understanding and addressing its cause.
Teams can use SpotSee Cloud data to:
- Make faster receiving and disposition decisions
- Investigate temperature, freeze, shock and tilt events
- Support quality reviews and damage claims
- Improve accountability across carriers and handling partners
- Identify recurring problems by shipment lane or location
- Evaluate packaging and handling procedures
- Strengthen documentation and audit readiness
- Reduce product loss, returns and operational costs

One Cloud Platform for Every SpotSee QR-Enabled Product
All SpotSee QR-enabled products leverage the same SpotSee Cloud platform. This gives customers a consistent digital experience across multiple types of condition monitoring.
Whether a customer monitors temperature, freeze, shock or tilt, the underlying cloud experience remains consistent. Teams can use one familiar platform and workflow as their condition-monitoring needs expand.
WarmMark QR
WarmMark QR monitors exposure to unacceptable time and temperature conditions. Scans create digital temperature-condition records that support cold chain visibility and product-quality decisions.
Learn how WarmMark QR supports temperature-sensitive shipment visibility from origin through the last mile.
FreezeSafe QR
FreezeSafe QR detects exposure to temperatures below the selected threshold. Its physical indication and digital scan record help customers document potential freeze events, remotely review results and support cold chain compliance.
ShockWatch 2 QR
ShockWatch 2 QR detects potentially damaging impacts above a selected G-force threshold. Each scan can document shock status, location, time, serial number and image evidence, helping customers strengthen accountability and reduce product damage.
ShockWatch Label QR
ShockWatch Label QR combines SpotSee’s familiar clear-to-red impact indication with serialized, item-level digital traceability.
Learn how the product turns a visual receiving check into cloud-based impact documentation.
TiltWatch XTR QR
TiltWatch XTR QR provides permanent visual evidence when a shipment tips beyond 80 degrees. Scanning records tilt condition, date, time, location, serial number and scan history in SpotSee Cloud.
Simple by Design
SpotSee Cloud is designed to add visibility without introducing unnecessary complexity.
No App Required
Users scan with a smartphone camera and follow the instructions on the screen. There is no mobile application to download, deploy or maintain.
The same app-free workflow is used across the SpotSee QR-enabled sensor portfolio, giving carriers, receivers and end users a consistent experience.
No Specialized Readers
The QR workflow does not require dedicated scanners, dock equipment or proprietary reading hardware.
Battery-Free Indicators
SpotSee QR-enabled indicators are single-use and battery-free. They require no charging, maintenance or onboard electronics while still providing a digital connection at each scan.
Minimal Process Change
The physical indicator remains the primary visual signal. The QR workflow adds digital documentation to a familiar shipping and receiving process.
Web-Based Access
Authorized users can access records through the SpotSee Cloud web portal, providing 24/7 remote access to relevant shipment and indicator information.
Scalable Across the Supply Chain
The straightforward scan process makes QR-enabled monitoring practical for individual products, packages, pallets and shipments from the first mile through final delivery.
See how app-free scanning and cloud records help improve last-mile monitoring for temperature-sensitive shipments.
Built for Data Security and Controlled Access
SpotSee understands that shipment information may be important to a customer’s quality, logistics and compliance operations.
SpotSee Cloud is designed to provide controlled, account-based access to customer records. Authorized users can remotely review the records associated with their organization, while customers determine what shipment or asset information they enter into the platform.
The unique QR code connects the indicator to its cloud record, but it does not store the customer’s complete shipment record on the physical indicator.
SpotSee Cloud is built to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 recordkeeping and user-access requirements, helping customers maintain records that are retrievable, controlled and available for review.
Organizations operating regulated cold chains can learn more about strengthening pharmaceutical documentation and audit readiness.
Customers with specific security or compliance requirements may contact SpotSee to request available documentation or submit a security questionnaire for formal review.

Physical Evidence and Digital Traceability
SpotSee QR-enabled products combine two complementary forms of visibility:
- Physical evidence: The indicator provides a clear visual indication when the monitored condition exceeds its threshold.
- Digital traceability: A QR scan creates a serialized, time- and location-stamped record in SpotSee Cloud.
The digital platform does not replace the physical indicator. Instead, it adds documentation and remote visibility to what the indicator shows at the shipment.
This means personnel can still inspect the physical indicator without connectivity. An internet connection is required to upload or view the associated digital record.
See how this approach adds digital traceability to visual impact monitoring without requiring dedicated readers or an app rollout.
From Individual Records to Supply Chain Insights
A single scan documents the condition of one shipment at one point in time. Multiple scans across shipments create a larger source of supply chain intelligence.
With consistent condition records, customers can begin answering questions such as:
- Where are condition events occurring most frequently?
- Are certain lanes, carriers or handoff points associated with more exceptions?
- Are receiving teams following a consistent inspection process?
- Is current packaging providing adequate protection?
- Which shipments require inspection before acceptance, installation or use?
- Where could process improvements reduce damage, waste or returns?
SpotSee Cloud helps convert data collected at the edge of the supply chain into information teams can use to make better operational decisions.
