The Analytics module provides both internal and external users with insights derived from Logixboard platform data, providing business intelligence on aspects like freight trends, carrier performance, lane utilization, spend, and more -- all to help inform downstream business decisions.


Getting Started

The Analytics module is accessible from the global navigation bar. The list of available views depends on user type, feature availability, and configuration settings.

Safari users, please note that the Analytics module is an embedded iframe and requires permissions to render. On initial load, Safari will prompt for permissions -- please accept and allow to enable the page to load properly.

Data in analytics is filtered by organizations. For internal users assigned to multiple organizations, the Organization Selector dropdown in the global navigation bar can be used to further filter data in analytics to a single Organization, or users can leverage the filter settings below to select one or more organizations.

Filter Settings

Most analytics views can be customized using the filter and date range settings.

Depending on the view, the Filter button may allow users to filter data by organization(s), Origin and Destination ports, or other appropriate options.

The Calendar provides a means to scope data to a selected date range, as well as set a comparison period for 'period-over-period' analyses.

Exporting Analytics

Users can interact with insight tiles in a number of ways.

  • Clicking nearly any data point will provide a "Drill Into" option, allowing users to view and extract underlying data driving the insight.

  • Individual tiles can be downloaded in several formats using the "three dots" menu on each tile. Tiles can be downloaded as images (PNG option), or various data formats.

  • At the very bottom of the page, a "download all" button facilitates export of the entire analytics view in image, PDF, and raw data formats.

International Freight Analytics

On load, the International Freight Analytics view will be set with a 180-day ETA range, with comparison data from the previous 180-day period. All insight tiles will be filtered to this date range (based on Shipment ETA).

All financial data in this view is converted to the user's selected Default Currency. This currency selection can be modified in the Settings page. Please note that the Default Currency selector is only available if a user has invoices billed in multiple currencies.

Summary Insights

Overall Trends

The Overall Trends card provides a summary view of shipment trends period-over-period, providing quick insights into the growth or decline of shipment volumes (and associated carbon emissions, if applicable).


Top Modes by Shipment Count

Top Modes by Shipment Count breaks down freight volumes by most common mode, providing quick insights into whether goods are moving by air, land, or sea.


Shipments by Mode

Shipments by Mode - and the corresponding Period Comparison chart - show how freight volume may have shifted between modes over time. This can be particularly insightful when viewing the monthly or quarterly charting period.


Total Shipped and Total Cost per Freight Unit

The Freight Unit analytics provide insights into how amounts and costs of applicable chargeable units (TEU for Ocean FCL, Cubic Meter for Ocean LCL, and Kilogram for Air) have changed over time, helping to identify patterns and trends in modality and identify areas for optimization.

Average Cost per Freight Unit is estimated based on total invoiced amount for a shipment, and should be considered directional and strictly for trending. It is calculated by dividing the Total Invoiced Amount by the Chargeable Freight Unit Amount per shipment, and then averaging that across all relevant Shipments in the selected time period.


Metrics By Mode

For a comprehensive view of freight, this view provides insight tiles covering:

  • Volume by Mode Over Time, both in cubic meters (CBM, m³) and TEU for Ocean FCL freight.

  • Weight by Mode Over Time, in kilograms.

  • Total Cost by Mode Over Time, converted to the user's selected Default Currency.

  • (Optional) Carbon Intensity Over Time, in gCO2/(t*km)


Top Trade Lanes

Top Trade Lanes shows the top 20 routes (as defined by the Shipment origin and destination ports) by total shipment count, broken down by mode, giving users a quick view into their common shipping lanes and potential areas of mode optimization.

Note: all data (including beyond the "Top 20" limit) can be downloaded by selecting "All possible results" in the download data modal:


Trade Lane Metrics

Trade Lane Metrics provides a variety of lane-based metrics, giving a comprehensive view of a user's freight volume, potential risk, efficiency, and more.

The table contains the following insights:

  • Route (Shipment Origin to Destination)

  • Transport Mode

  • Container Mode

  • Total Shipment Count

  • Avg. Transit Time (in days)

  • Avg. Delay Time (in days)

  • Total TEU (Ocean FCL and domestic dray only)

  • Gross Weight (Kilograms)

  • Total Volume (Cubic Meters)

  • (Optional) Total CO2e (Tons)

Averages are calculated by:

  • Avg. Transit Time - AVG (POD ATA - POL ATD)

  • Avg. Delay - AVG (POD ATA - Original POD ETA)


Carrier Performance

Carrier Performance provides many of the same insights as Trade Lane Metrics, but broken down by freight carrier to help drive downstream business decisions related to carrier selection for a given route.


Trucking Freight Analytics

On load, the Trucking Freight Analytics view will be set with a 90-day ETA range, with comparison data from the previous 90-day period. All insight tiles will be filtered to this date range (based on Shipment ETA).

Summary Insights

Overall Trends

The Overall Trends card provides a summary view of shipment trends period-over-period, providing quick insights into the growth or decline of shipment volumes.


Shipment Summary

Top Modes by Shipment Count breaks down freight volumes by job type, providing a quick view into stats for the current period.


Shipments by Type

Shipments by Type - and the corresponding Period Comparison chart - show how freight volume may have shifted between modes over time. This can be particularly insightful when viewing the monthly or quarterly charting period.


Top Lanes

Top Lanes shows the top 20 city-to-city trucking lanes by total shipment count, broken down by job type, giving users a quick view into their common shipping lanes and potential areas of mode and/or distribution optimization.

Note: all data (including beyond the "Top 20" limit) can be downloaded by selecting "All possible results" in the download data modal:


Lane Metrics

Lane Metrics provides a variety of lane-based metrics, giving a comprehensive view of a user's freight volume, potential risk, efficiency, and more.

The table contains the following insights:

  • Lane (City to City)

  • Shipment Type

  • Total Shipment Count

  • Avg. Transit Time (in days)

  • Avg. Delay Time (in days)

  • Total Weight (Pounds)

  • Total Distance (Miles)


Averages are calculated by:

  • Avg. Transit Time - AVG (Actual Last Delivery - Actual First Pickup)

  • Avg. Delay - AVG (Actual Last Delivery - Estimated Last Delivery)


Customs Brokerage Analytics

On load, the Customs Brokerage Analytics view will be set with a 180-day ETA range, with comparison data from the previous 180-day period. All insight tiles will be filtered to this date range (based on Shipment ETA).

All financial data in this view is converted to the user's selected Default Currency. This currency selection can be modified in the Settings page. Please note that the Default Currency selector is only available if a user has invoices billed in multiple currencies.

Summary Insights

Overall Trends

The Overall Trends card provides a summary view of job trends period-over-period, providing quick insights into the growth or decline of clearance volumes, as well as goods value and duties paid.


Top Modes by Job Count

Top Modes by Job Count breaks down clearance volumes by most common mode, providing quick insights into whether goods are moving by air, land, or sea.


Goods Origin Heatmap

The Goods Origin Heatmap is a visual representation of the declared Country of Origin for clearance jobs. This provides quick insights into supply chain risk exposure.


Duties

Duty Summary

Duty Summary shows the top 15 origin countries by goods value. Superimposed on this is the total duties paid for those goods. This ratio (duties paid to total value) provides a snapshot of relative potential value / risk for countries of origin, and can help inform supply chain diversification and supplier selection decisions.


Top Duties by HTS

This chart shows the top 20 HTS codes by duties paid.


Compliance Insights

Classification Consistency

The Classification Consistency table provides a list of all SKUs / product codes that have been declared under >1 HTS code, providing a quick and easy way to track consistency and compliance. Note that there are several scenarios under which a single product code may be associated with multiple HTS codes; presence of multiple codes per SKU does not imply an issue.


US Import Holds

This chart shows the top US ports of entry where a customs hold (CBP or PGA) has been issued. Note that the shipment count is not active holds; it is the count of all shipments for which a hold was issued at that port of entry during the specified filter timeframe.
