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.
Getting Started
The Analytics module is accessible from the global navigation bar. On load, the dashboard 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).
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.
All financial data in the Analytics module 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.
Filter Settings
The Analytics page can be customized using the filter and date range settings.
The Filter button allows users to filter data by organization(s), as well as Origin and Destination ports.
The Calendar provides a means to scope data to a selected date range (based on Shipment ETA), as well as set a comparison period for 'period-over-period' analyses.
Exporting Analytics
Users can interact with Analytics 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 dashboard in both image and raw data formats.
Metrics
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 4 Modes by Shipment Count
Top 4 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.
Metrics By Mode Over Time
For a comprehensive view of freight, the Analytics module provides several insight tiles covering:
Shipments by Mode Over Time, with a quick-view Period Comparison showing how freight volume may have shifted between modes over time.
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)
Cards are broken out in one-week intervals to provide granularity in trends.
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.
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 (Kilgrams)
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.
