Claim 9:
10. A system for managing shipping of a shipping container, comprising:
a web portal that monitors a shipping itinerary of the shipping container and a health of the shipping container according to at least one preselected criteria;
an electronic device affixed to the shipping container and in communication with the web portal and that stores a first electronic image file associated with the shipping itinerary;
a sensor inside the shipping container and providing the sensor data to the electronic device,
wherein the electronic device transmits the sensor data to the web portal,
wherein the web portal receives the sensor data corresponding to a temperature within the shipping container,
wherein the at least one preselected criteria comprises a preselected threshold temperature or temperature range;
an electronic shipping label in proximity to the electronic device, the electronic shipping label having:
a communication device for obtaining from the electronic device the first electronic image file stored on the electronic device;
a processor connected to the communication device and configured to:
obtain, from the electronic device and using the communication device, the first electronic image file stored on the electronic device; and
render the first electronic image file during the shipping itinerary,

wherein the electronic device is configured to:
determine a location of the electronic device;
determine a geo-fence surrounding a destination location of the shipping itinerary,
wherein the geofence surrounding the destination location comprises an area that is within a threshold distance of the destination location;
determine based on the destination location and the location of the electronic device that the electronic device (i) has entered the geo-fence surrounding the destination location at a first time by determining that the electronic device is within the threshold distance of the destination location, (ii) stopped at the destination location at a second time after the first time, and (iii) exited the geo-fence surrounding the destination location at a third time after the second time by determining that the electronic device is beyond the threshold distance of the destination location; and
provide a second electronic image file or a signal to the electronic shipping label to indicate to the electronic shipping label to change to the second electronic image file in response to the determining that the electronic device has exited the geo-fence surrounding the destination location; and

a display that visually displays the rendered electronic image file that is to be read by a laser device even if a power source that powers the display has failed.
