Many organizations have little or no visibility into their shipping habits. You may be able to run a few reports (that no one looks at) but few companies have "real-time" access to their shipping data.
A world-class business intelligence platform is not expensive. Getting visibility into your shipping data will help your team make better decisions. Business intelligence allows you to "take action" quicker to control your costs, manage claims, improve on-time delivery, optimize shipments and get better carrier rates.
