The purpose of this article is to explain the usefulness and functionality of the Ocean Focus Dashboard in Analytics.
Below you'll find some tips on how to use this dashboard :
The aim of this dashboard is to provide a detailed view of the time spent between each key step, so you can assess areas for improvement.
Performance graph:
The line graph at the top of the image shows the various stages of the logistics process:
- "Empty Pickup
- "Gate In" (entry into the terminal)
- "Loaded
- "Vessel departure
- "Vessel Arrival
- "Unloaded
- "Gate Out" (terminal exit)
- "Empty Return
The figures indicate the average number of days spent at each stage, e.g. here, 4 days before Gate In, 7 days before loading, and so on up to a total of 57 days before Empty Return.
The second graph at bottom left allows you to compare the time spent between each stage along several axes.
The color codes are the same as for the graph above.
The last chart allows you to refine your analysis by selecting the columns to be displayed in the table for your analysis.
For itineraries with transshipments, all port names are displayed in the itinerary.
How to use this page :
- To compare the overall time or between each stage on alternative routes:
- Select the route in the main filters by filling in the "POD" (destination port) and "POL" (loading port) fields, e.g. for flows from China to Le Havre.
- Select "route" in chart 2 to see the difference.
- Identify the best route, here between Shanghai and Le Havre.
To go further: Select this route in the main filter to see which carrier has the best performance. - To check unplanned transshipments:
- Select "route" and "number of TS" in the field you can display.
- Sort by number of transshipments from largest to smallest.
This dashboard is primarily intended for purchasing or operations teams to evaluate the performance of different routes and carriers, as well as to identify and analyze unplanned transshipments.
