Logistics Analytics

Most logistics operations we review have OTIF measured monthly. By the time you know you're off target, you've already missed 30 days of deliveries and the customer is calling to complain.

What we hear from operators

The problems we solve

01

Three systems, no single truth

Route data in the TMS. Proof of delivery in a separate WMS or carrier portal. Cost data in the ERP. Nobody has connected them. So freight cost per delivery unit is calculated quarterly in Excel by someone who has to export three reports, reconcile the columns, and pivot the result. By the time it's done, the quarter it describes is already history.

02

Carrier performance is managed by relationship, not data

Most logistics teams know which carriers perform well and which don't — by feel. The data to prove it exists in the TMS. But it's not aggregated, not trended, not shown to the carrier in a monthly review. So underperformance is tolerated longer than it should be, and renegotiations happen without leverage.

03

Last-mile visibility disappears at the handover point

The moment a shipment leaves the DC and goes to a third-party carrier, real-time visibility typically ends. The customer calls the logistics team. The logistics team calls the carrier. The carrier checks the driver. This is 2025, and this process is still how most operations handle last-mile exceptions.

Who this is for

Who logistics analytics is built for

The roles that feel the problem first — and what we build for each of them.

Logistics / Distribution Head

The problem

OTIF is measured monthly, so you find out you are off target after 30 days of missed deliveries — usually when the customer calls to complain.

What we build

Daily OTIF by lane, carrier and customer in Power BI over Microsoft Fabric, with the TMS, WMS and ERP unified through Azure Data Factory.

OTIF tracked daily by lane, not monthly in retrospect

Supply Chain Director

The problem

Carrier performance is managed by feel. The data to prove which carriers underperform sits in the TMS but is never aggregated, trended or put in front of the carrier.

What we build

Automated carrier scorecards generated from TMS data in Power BI, distributed each month through Power Automate without manual effort.

Renegotiations backed by 12 months of carrier data, not relationship

Operations Manager

The problem

The moment a shipment leaves the DC, visibility ends. Last-mile exceptions are chased by phone — the customer calls you, you call the carrier, the carrier calls the driver.

What we build

Carrier API integration into Microsoft Fabric with automated exception alerts through Power Automate the moment a delivery window is at risk.

Late-delivery exceptions caught within 24 hours, not at month-end

CFO / Financial Controller

The problem

Freight cost per delivery unit is calculated quarterly in Excel by someone reconciling three exports — and the quarter it describes is already gone.

What we build

An automated freight-cost dashboard in Power BI on Microsoft Fabric, with cost per unit by carrier and lane tracked against budget in real time.

Freight cost per unit on demand, not a quarterly reconciliation

Measurable outcomes

What changes after implementation

Specific shifts from delivered logistics analytics work — the before, and the after.

OTIF measurement: monthly retrospective → daily live tracking by lane

Logistics managers see OTIF performance as it unfolds, not after the month closes. Exceptions are caught within 24 hours of a delivery window being missed.

Freight cost reporting: quarterly Excel exercise → automated monthly dashboard

Cost per delivery unit, cost by carrier, cost by lane — available without manual extraction. Freight spend vs budget tracked against actuals in real time.

Carrier reviews: relationship-based → data-driven scorecards

Monthly carrier scorecards generated automatically. On-time rate, damage rate, cost vs contracted rate — per carrier, per lane, per customer tier. Renegotiations backed by 12 months of data.
