Diaries Of A Logistics Service Provider: Demo Of Logixboard

If you've ever entrusted your goods to a logistics service provider, you can likely resonate with the stress and frustration that can sometimes be quite prevalent. Maybe bad weather has brought about delays, or you are unable to track your cargo. Whatever the case, you know that peace of mind is an invaluable gift when moving your cargo across the world.

With Heneways, peace of mind comes in the form of technology and goes by the name of Logixboard. We recently sat down with Imogen, one of our logistics legends, who gave us a thorough demo of this incredible platform that helps us instil peace, calm, and assurance in all our clients.

Dashboard Overview: Putting You In Command

The Logixboard dashboard is pretty much the cockpit of a high-tech spacecraft. It’s curated for quick navigation, a bird's eye view of your entire freight operation. You can find an instant overview of all active shipment alerts, ETA changes, and exceptions. Imogen walked us through how this particular feature allows users to pinpoint important shipments, keeping you in the loop about any updates.

Shipment Tracking: Keeping You Updated In Real-Time

Imagine being able to track any of your shipments with the precision of GPS. As your trusted logistics service provider, we ensure that you can do just that - being able to view detailed shipment statuses, routes, and documentation at all times.

One of the most notable features that Imogen highlighted here was the integration with live vessel tracking from marine traffic. You can pull a visual of the journey timeline and any potential delays en route. This puts the ball in your court, giving you an opportunity to make informed decisions and changes to guarantee your goods take the best path.

Container View: A Big Pretty Picture

This feature is a real winner, a container-centric view that links multiple shipments that you can then filter by mode of transport, routes taken and more.

Its customizable layout and exportable data capabilities mean what you see is yours to tailor to your specific needs, and extremely useful feature for companies managing intricate shipping operations with many moving parts.

Analytics: Back Up Your Decisions

We all know the importance of having access to detailed analytics, and this is especially true when moving cargo. Logixboard's analytics module visualizes your shipment volumes, trends over time, prime routes, carriers and modes of transport, all captured in interactive charts and graphs.

Imogen shared how helpful these insights can be in identifying patterns, mapping out the most effective routes and making strategic decisions that save time and money.

Bonus Bits: Above And Beyond Basic Tracking

This platform boasts incredible features that put you in charge. The bookings module gives clients the freedom to create shipment requests directly within the platform, making the process as simple as possible. Notifications and email alerts keep you updated on any changes, and the chat functionality keeps you in direct communication with the Heneways team.

With the use of LogixBoard, Heneways clients have the master key to their shipment data - no need to go through intermediaries. This transparency empowers clients to take control of their logistics and wade the waters of freight management with ease.

While our team is always ready to lend a hand, Logixboard gives complete control over your shipments, which in turn leads to that peace of mind we referred to earlier. If you’d like complete peace of mind for all your shipments, give us a shout and let’s chat about how that could look for your business.
