What is KPI Dashboard and how does it work?

KPI Dashboard is a supply chain analytics platform that analyzes historical shipment data tomeasure carrier performance and identify bottlenecks. It compares actual transit times against planned schedules to show where your supply chain performs well and where improvements are needed.

How is KPI Dashboard different from Command Center?

Command Center monitors active containers to manage live exceptions. KPI Dashboard analyzes completed voyages to identify patterns and support strategic planning. Use Command Center for daily operations and KPI Dashboard for procurement cycles.

What data powers KPI Dashboard?

KPI Dashboard uses your historical shipment records from Portcast's visibility platform or you can bring-your-own historical shipment data. It analyzes origins, destinations, carriers, transit times, and delays to calculate supply chain KPI metrics and reliability scores. The supply chain analytics help you understand patterns across your network.

Which teams can use KPI Dashboard?

KPI Dashboard is designed for logistics, operations, and procurement teams involved in carrier selection and contract negotiations. It provides the performance data needed to make informed decisions during procurement cycles.

How is Portcast's KPI Dashboard different from other analytics tools?

Most analytics tools show what happened. Portcast's supply chain analytics software goes further by comparing carriers head-to-head, identifying root causes at the carrier, lane, and port level, and providing actionable data for procurement decisions.
