The challenge

A distribution network could not tell which carriers and regions were hurting service and cost, because tracking, freight, and orders lived in separate systems.

What we built

We consolidated carrier, freight, and order data on a governed model and built Power BI dashboards for OTIF and freight cost by carrier, lane, and region.

  • A consolidated model over carrier, freight, and order data.
  • OTIF and freight cost by carrier, lane, and region.
  • Drill-down to the delivery behind every number.

Outcomes

  • Service and cost problems traced to the carrier and region.
  • Freight cost visible against service level.
  • Distribution decisions on data, not anecdotes.
