Know which routes are working, and which are costing you
Know which routes are working, and which are costing you
Every lane you ship on, measured against your plan and against each other. See where transit times slip, containers get rolled and costs creep up, and which forwarder or carrier is behind it, then take the evidence straight to them.
Every container in one place, at Tata Consumer Products.
Real live data on the status of our containers all in one place instead of having to interrogate all of the individual shipping websites.

How Beacon measures your routes
How Beacon measures your routes
Compare every route side by side
Cost per FEU, D&D, invoice accuracy, volume against allocation, transit time against schedule, on-time rate and roll rate for every route in one view. The routes that are underperforming stand out straight away.
Drill into any route over time
Pick a route and see how its cost and service are changing week by week, month by month or quarter by quarter, so you know whether things are getting better or worse.
See how every forwarder and carrier performs
Filter by forwarder or carrier to see every route they handle, with a total across all of them. One view answers "how is this forwarder doing?"
Plan against what actually happens
Volumes and transit times measured against your plan, so next year's planning runs on real lead times rather than quoted ones.
Route questions, answered.
What does Beacon measure on each route?
Planned and actual volume, spot share, sailings, scheduled and actual transit time, on-time rate, roll rate, ETA accuracy, cost per FEU, D&D and invoice accuracy.
Can we see how one forwarder is doing across all our routes?
Yes. Select all routes and filter by that forwarder. You see each route they handle and a total line for their overall performance.
Can we compare forwarders on the same route?
Yes. Every forwarder and carrier on a route is measured on the same basis.
How many carriers connect?
160+ ocean carriers and airlines, so every route is measured consistently.
Do we need clean data to start?
No. Start with the shipment data you already have, and Beacon structures it for you.
