What is Metapack Intelligence?

Intelligence is a suite of reports that can measure your parcel profile, shipping performance, and delivery success. It’s designed to help functions such as:

  • Warehouse & Operations

  • Carrier & Logistics

  • Ecommerce

  • Customer Services

There are five content areas, all serving to optimise a specific area of your shipping operation:

  • Live warehouse

  • Parcel profile

  • Delivery time

  • Carrier performance

  • Live carrier

How can it help me?

By monitoring and understanding your shipping performance, you can increase warehouse productivity, improve carrier selection, set more accurate delivery propositions, and reduce failed delivery promises. The reports provide you with insight needed to:

  • Resolve processing issues in the warehouse. Streamline warehouse productivity and minimise delays.

  • Reduce failed delivery promises. Proactively intervene with delayed parcels by reaching out to the customer, managing expectations.

  • Improve delivery proposition on your website. Identify your average delivery times to display accurate times for your customers.

  • Evaluate carrier performance against agreed service level agreements. Gain visibility of when carriers are not performing as expected.

  • Select the right carriers for your shipping profile. Build a complete profile of when, where, and how you ship.
