The dynamic environment
The carrier shipping industry operates in a dynamic environment with complex logistics, demanding schedules, and fluctuating market conditions. Amid these challenges, a report from ZhenHub states that by 2027, the freight and logistics market in the Philippines is expected to grow at a rate of over 7%. However, a roadblock to growth exists—a notable gap in the lack of robust data analytics solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of carrier shipping companies.
This white paper explores the transformative impact of DataHyv’s data analytics solutions on a company operating in the carrier shipping industry. By addressing specific challenges, DataHyv has significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of its business processes. The use case presented here demonstrates the successful resolution of various issues related to reporting and analysis.
Why is data analytics needed?
Many carrier shipping companies struggle with the absence of streamlined analytics solutions that can address specific challenges in reporting, analysis, and decision-making. The absence of such tools hampers operational efficiency, inhibits strategic decision-making, and leaves businesses vulnerable to market fluctuations.
Companies in the aforementioned industry rely heavily on timely and accurate insights to optimize routes, manage cargo volumes, and enhance overall operational efficiency. Manual processes for data analysis are time-consuming, error-prone, and often fail to provide the depth of insights required for informed decision-making. This content gap underscores the urgent need for advanced data analytics solutions in the carrier shipping sector.
01: Streamlining Monthly Reports
Traditional manual reporting processes often involve extensive data analysis, filtering, and calculations, associated with inefficiency and complexity. DataHyv implemented a feature allowing users to view a summary of revenues and shipped volumes for a selected month with just a few clicks. By applying filters for the desired month and customer, the system generates values for volume, average company due, average rate, total revenue, due, and ancillary.
The system also calculates the percentage growth from the previous month for revenue sources.
This solution significantly simplifies the process of obtaining essential values for billing, making report generation more time-efficient and precise. Users can now quickly access the needed information without manually filtering through extensive datasets, improving overall productivity.
02: Enhanced Historical and Comparative Analysis
To compare revenue and volume histories, visualizations, such as stacked bar charts and pie charts are introduced. These tools facilitate year-over-year and month-to-month comparisons for revenue and volume, helping users identify trends and make informed decisions.
The visualizations enable faster and more efficient comparisons, aiding in both short-term and long-term decision-making. Users can easily identify trends and make data-driven decisions for optimizing business strategies.
03: Automated Growth Analysis
Eliminate the challenges brought by the complexity of manual calculation and analysis of growth metrics with an automated calculation of revenue and volume growth percentages from the previous month in every area and port covered. This provides instant insights from growth metrics.
Automation accelerates the analysis process, allowing users to quickly assess the performance of each area and port. The simplified approach enhances the ability to track growth patterns, supporting strategic decision-making.
04: Port-level Insights
The need for a detailed and comprehensive understanding of performance metrics at the level of individual ports gives rise to the utilization of a table presenting the distribution and trends of revenue and volume for every port. This comprehensive overview allows users to track the performance of each port, compare the current and last year’s revenue, and make data-driven decisions.
The visualizations provide clear insights into the revenue history of each port. This information helps in monitoring the progress of individual ports.
Moreover, this granular analysis allows users to track the performance of specific routes and optimize their operations accordingly.
The detailed analysis of port links assists users in identifying the most used and profitable routes. This information is crucial for optimizing logistics and improving overall operational efficiency.
05: In-depth Area Analysis
The detailed visuals of stacked bar charts, area graphs, and pie charts illustrate the revenue and volume trends for every area over the last years. This analysis aids users in identifying regional trends and areas for improvement.
In-depth historical analysis enables users to focus on specific areas for strategic improvements. The separate historical graphs provide a nuanced understanding of revenue and volume trends, facilitating targeted interventions.
