Benefits of Summary Analytics:
- Full Supply Chain Visibility: Understand trends across all of your Tive shipments to optimize logistics and identify inefficiencies.
- Improve Efficiency: Use aggregated data to streamline decision-making and reduce operational costs.
- Track Key Metrics: Monitor shipment duration, temperature, alerts, and more to ensure compliance and performance.
- Customizable Insights: Apply filters to surface insights and access dashboards tailored to your specific business needs.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Leverage real-time analytics to enhance supply chain operations and improve response times.
Example: As a logistics manager, you can use ‘Summary Analytics’ to track carriers with frequent shipment delays, helping you spot trends and choose better vendors. By analyzing past delays, you can identify seasonal patterns, predict bottlenecks, and take proactive steps to reduce disruptions.
For temperature-sensitive shipments, you can monitor temperature fluctuations across different transport modes and routes. This helps identify problem areas, improve carrier selection, and prevent compliance issues or product spoilage.

Best Practices
Apply Filters:
- Account: Ensure that the analytics are filtered by the correct account. The default setting only filters for the account you are currently viewing.
- Date Range: Select a specific time period to focus on shipments within a particular timeframe.
- Mode: Filter by transportation type (e.g., air, ocean, road, or rail) to analyze performance across different shipping methods.
- Carrier: Narrow results to shipments handled by a specific carrier for performance tracking and comparisons.
- Origin: Focus on shipments departing from a particular location to analyze regional trends and efficiency.
- Destination: Filter by delivery location to assess shipment performance and identify patterns in different regions.
- Exclude Invalid Shipments: Shipments missing key data (e.g., no location records, incomplete distance traveled) are automatically excluded to maintain accurate reporting.
