Overview of Shipment Volumes

The primary aim of this section of the dashboard is to review shipment volumes based on different criteria.

Volume Criteria

  • Number of containers/AWB
  • Number of shipments
  • Number of TEUs
  • Total weight
  • Number of BL/Bookings

Key Features

  1. Set the Unit of Measurement:

    • You can select the unit of measurement for the entire page. This changes the volume and title of all charts on the page depending on the unit selected.

  2. Monitor Historical Volumes:

    • Easily track historical monthly and yearly volumes, allowing for performance comparison over time.

  3. Charts and Visualizations:

    • Number of Shipments: A line graph shows the evolution of shipment numbers over the years 2021, 2022, and 2023, month by month.
    • Distribution by Transport Mode: A pie chart displays the distribution of shipments by transport mode (Sea, Air, Rail, Road).
    • Number of Carriers: The total number of carriers is shown, accompanied by a pie chart indicating the distribution by carrier.

  4. Access to Raw Data:

    • The "Raw Data" feature allows you to select fields to display for a detailed analysis of the data underlying the charts.

This interactive dashboard is designed to provide a clear and precise view of shipment volumes, enabling in-depth analysis and easy monitoring of logistics performance.

Examples of use:

  • To analyze the flows of a forwarder or carrier by road, you can select the "Forwarder" or "Carrier" filter on the first chart, then use the Routes filter on the second chart.
    This is most likely to be done by a member of the purchasing or operations team.
  • To analyze the evolution of volumes by consignee, you can select a consignee from the filters on the left of the screen, in "Parts".
    You will then see the evolution of volumes on graph number 4.
    This will tend to be used more by a member of the sales team.
