For internal or third party logistics providers the requirement to measure and report on the performance of operations is critical for many reasons:
- To monitor day-to-day operational performance
- To report on contractual objectives (SLA’s) with customers
- To report on regulatory compliance. ShipTrack offers easy access to creating canned reports as well as custom on the spot reports in an easy to use search tool.

Route Optimization
Selecting the optimal route to deliver a parcel in the past was dependent on the experience and knowledge of the dispatcher. In today’s complex and fast-paced logistics environment with staff turnover and constantly increasing workloads, automation is the only way to remain competitive. Route optimization algorithms built-into ShipTrack route planning app ensure every delivery order is delivered in the fastest and most efficient way possible. By accounting for many more variables that a human could possibly manage, ShipTrack’s route planning app increases delivery capacity, reduces staff workloads and enables compliance to delivery SLA’s.
