Generate the professional reports your customers expect—in seconds, not hours

Your customers expect data-driven transparency: CO2 emissions, carrier performance, D&D charges. Generate reports automatically by customer, and stop promising to "get back to them" with answers.

What reports can Beacon generate?

On-time performance, average lead times, delay frequency, carrier reliability, supplier performance, detention/demurrage costs, route efficiency, and ETA accuracy. Plus custom metrics you define.

Can I compare carriers against each other?

Absolutely. See which carriers consistently deliver on time for specific routes. Compare promised transit times versus actual performance. Identify your most reliable partners.

Can you measure CO2 Impact?

Answer the #1 customer question: "What's our environmental impact?"
Automated CO2 reporting by customer, by quarter, by route. Walk into QBRs with sustainability metrics that larger forwarders charge premium fees to provide.

FAQs

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

Does this replace our spreadsheets?

No. It makes them better. Work in a spreadsheet format that updates itself automatically. Or keep your existing spreadsheets and use Beacon alongside them.

Can I track both ocean and air shipments?

Yes. 160+ ocean carriers and airlines in one platform. See your entire operation regardless of mode.

I only have 1 container number to track?

With our Free Trial you can track 1 to unlimited containers within the first 30 days. With no IT involvement in set up you can have live ETAs with 30 seconds of signing up.

I just need to track a container. Why do I need all this?

Tracking shows you where containers are. It doesn't stop you from manually entering that data into spreadsheets every morning. It doesn't keep your data current throughout the day. It doesn't end the email chains where everyone asks you the same questions. You think you need tracking. What you actually need is to stop wasting 10 hours weekly on manual work that should be automatic.

Can I automate report delivery to customers?

Yes. Set up quarterly (or monthly) reports that automatically generate and email to each customer. Your customer receives their performance summary, CO2 metrics, and trends without you doing anything manually.

How quickly can I start generating reports for customer meetings?

Once your shipment data is in Beacon, reports are available immediately. Historical data imports let you show year-over-year trends and quarter-over-quarter improvements from day one. Most forwarders generate their first customer report within 24 hours of onboarding.

 Do I need to be a data analyst to create these reports?

No. Start with pre-built templates for common metrics (CO2 emissions, carrier performance, on-time delivery). Customize filters by customer, date range, or route with simple dropdowns. Export to PDF for presentations or Excel for further analysis. The reports are designed for operations teams, not data scientists.
