Data Collection and Analysis Methodology

Vast Data Collection

Our benchmarking and carrier performance measurement techniques allow us to collect billions of anonymized data points from over 130 countries each year. We analyze the data from the hundreds of millions of parcels tracked on our platform from over 1,000 carriers, giving us the ability to distill a wealth of information about the global logistics industry.

Maintaining Data Representativeness

Domestic and international data is analyzed on a trade lane level, comparing the combinations of origin and destination to maintain data representativeness. This allows us to capture the nuances of specific trade lanes and provide insights that are tailored to the needs of our customers.

Rigorous Quality Control

To ensure the accuracy and representativeness of our data, we set strict minimum requirements for data point quantity and comparability when compiling carrier data sets. This helps to eliminate outliers and ensure that our insights are based on high-quality, unbiased, and representative data.

Transparent and Accurate Data Analysis

At our core, we believe that transparency and accuracy are essential to building trust with our customers. We are committed to delivering data insights that are free from bias and reflect the realities of the global logistics industry. Our customers can be confident in the accuracy of our data and the reliability of our insights.
