The Statistics Report provides a line graph of your shipping profile using the aggregated parcel counts (for up to 3 years from the date of manifesting).
The report facilitates the detection of trends in shipping patterns, carrier performance and traffic flow. For example, you can use the report to:
-
Determine the average weight and size of parcel shipped to a trade lane during different periods. This information may then be used to go to tender or negotiate pricing for services based on typical shipping profiles.
-
Compare the results over named weekdays, months, and years, to identify growth trends and patterns in despatch volumes.
-
Use the trends and patterns in shipping volumes to:
-
plan internal resources for peak and trough periods;
-
identify when to introduce additional shipping services;
-
generate external forecasts for use in the negotiation of carrier contracts.
