1. A system for a shipped physical object comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory having instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:
associating a time with a geographical region along an expected travel path of the shipped physical object;
receiving location data at a first rate associated with a sensor device within or attached to the shipped physical object;
determining that the location data fails to satisfy a condition associated with the time and the geographical region;
enabling a panic mode based on a selection of a panic button via a user interface on a device remote from the physical object;
receiving, corresponding to enablement of the panic mode, additional location data associated with the sensor device at a frequency greater than the first rate;
storing the additional location data received at the greater frequency; and
notifying, in response to the enabled panic mode, a party associated with the physical object of the failed condition.
