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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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:

Averages are calculated by:

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.
