Transportation Management Visibility

Unlike basic carrier tracking systems that only show shipment location, our Visibility Portal integrates data from all carriers and transportation modes into a single platform. You'll see not just where shipments are, but comprehensive performance metrics, cost analysis, and predictive alerts. The system connects your entire supply chain from vendor pickup through warehouse operations to final delivery, giving you unprecedented control and insight into your transportation network.

Our Visibility Portal supports all transportation modes, including truckload tracking, LTL tracking, intermodal tracking, parcel ID tracking, and last-mile distribution tracking. We integrate with major carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL. It also works with the regional carriers and specialized transportation providers that we manage on your behalf. The system maintains complete carrier visibility across your entire transportation network, regardless of mode or provider, giving you consistent tracking and performance measurement across all transportation operations.

Most clients gain access to our Visibility Portal within days of starting transportation management services with GEODIS. The basic implementation requires only user email addresses and permission levels. You'll immediately see standard dashboards and reports, while customized views and specialized integrations typically take 2-4 weeks to configure. Many clients report shifting from reactive to proactive transportation management within the first month of implementation.

Absolutely. Our widget-based dashboard design allows you to build personalized views focused on your most important metrics. You can create multi-tab dashboards, save custom report templates, and configure automated delivery of critical data to key stakeholders. The system allows dynamic filtering by carrier, location, customer, time period, and numerous other variables to provide precisely the information you need for effective decision-making.

The Visibility Portal includes detailed carrier scorecards that measure on-time pickup and delivery, and claims settlement performance for the carriers we manage on your behalf. These metrics are automatically collected through our control tower execution and presented in easy-to-understand transportation reports, allowing you to quickly identify performance trends. GEODIS addresses any issues with carriers directly, while you can track carrier compliance with routing guides, service level agreements, and contractual terms to ensure consistent service quality.

Our system offers comprehensive financial visibility, including detailed breakdowns of linehaul costs, fuel charges, accessorial fees, and invoice status. Finance departments can directly access accrual information for in-transit shipments to improve forecast accuracy. The system allows you to analyze costs by carrier, lane, customer, or product category to identify savings opportunities. All financial data can be exported to Excel for integration with your financial systems.

Our proactive transportation alert system monitors shipments against expected milestones and notifies you when potential issues arise with carriers we manage. You can configure specific tracking queues for different stages of the shipping process and set notification rules based on your priorities. The system provides early warning of delays, allowing you to communicate proactively with customers while GEODIS takes corrective action before service failures occur. All alerts include detailed information about the issue and the steps being taken to resolve it.

Yes, our system offers flexible sharing options, including the ability to generate unique tracking URLs for specific shipments. These links provide real-time status updates to your customers without exposing confidential information or giving access to your complete system. You can also create branded automated notifications that update customers about their shipments, configure customer-specific dashboards, and generate customized reports to share with your clients.

We offer multiple integration methods including EDI mapping, API connectivity, and direct system access. The Visibility Portal seamlessly connects with business applications to provide comprehensive supply chain visibility. Data flows automatically between systems, eliminating manual entry and ensuring consistent information across your technology ecosystem. Our implementation team will work with you to determine the most effective integration approach for your specific environment.

All users receive comprehensive training and ongoing support for the Visibility Portal. We provide built-in help resources, video tutorials, and documentation to guide users through all features. Our support team is available to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and provide additional training as needed. We also conduct regular reviews to ensure you're maximizing the value of the system and continuously enhance the platform based on client feedback and industry requirements.
