FAQs

Our Frequently Asked Questions explained - helping you get a clear picture of how Beacon can help your business.

How do I know when it's time to switch carriers or renegotiate mid-contract?

Beacon shows performance trends over time. If a carrier's on-time rate drops from 85% to 68% over three months you have trigger points for conversations. You're not waiting until annual contract renewal—you're addressing problems with data the moment patterns emerge.

What if I use freight forwarders?

You hold forwarders accountable the same way. Track which forwarders consistently deliver, which ones use reliable carriers, and which routing decisions cost you time and money.

Can I compare carrier performance across different routes and time periods?

Yes. Filter by route (e.g., Asia-Europe vs. Asia-US), by season (Q4 peak vs. Q1 low season), by specific timeframes. See which carriers excel on which routes and when. This granular analysis shows that a carrier could dominate transpacific but underperforms transatlantic as an example.
