The Problem:

Visibility alone is not enough.

  • Control Towers lack business context and organizational lane data required to make intelligent and timely decisions leading to lane optimization.

  • Aggregating data from multiple platforms and comparing to organizational standards is expensive and time consuming.

  • External events impacting lane performance may not be communicated, or it may be manual and time consuming to understand which routes, stops, or segments may be impacted.

  • IoT data can be complicated and time consuming to analyze by development teams, leading to long development times for analytics

  • Lane Analytical tools that do exist lack to the ability to drill from lane level, to route level, to shipments level - making investigating root cause a difficult time consuming task.

  • Compare ping rate and battery insights across multiple sensor providers side-by-side.

Lane CO2 Emissions Metrics

  • View CO2 emissions on a lane over time (month to month).

Lane Packaging Performance Metrics

  • Understand if your packaging is performing well, needs additional protection, or if cost optimization is possible.

All Routes View

  • A quick snapshot across all route on any given into historical lane performance, current external risk factors, and AI (Athena) generated recommendations.

  • Low Confidence routes and unresolved shipments are organized and displayed to optimize data quality results

Verified Route Badge

  • When an Lane SOP document is available in the system, a blue checkmark will be displayed.

Route Details

  • Your routes are automatically mapped and displayed as stops and segments with average transit time and excursion count for each.

  • Route level Lane Performance, External Impact, Device Performance, CO2 emissions, and packaging insights.

Shipment View

  • Drill down to individual shipments on a route and gain insight into Delivery, Temperature, and Device performance.

  • View all shipment events and milestones in a consolidated timeline view.
