Shippeo, a leading provider of multimodal shipment visibility,
announced today their Spring 2024 Platform release, introducing
over 70 new features and enhancements, including a new parcel
tracking solution rebuilt from the ground up, as well as
improvements to road, ocean container, and carbon emissions
tracking, along with significant user experience improvements.
“I’m thrilled to announce that our latest Spring platform
release is available to customers from today,” says Chief
Product Officer, Anand Medepalli. “Our entirely rebuilt parcel
tracking solution that we’re releasing today is market-leading.
Reengineered from the ground up, Parcel Visibility offers enhanced
scalability to support our continued expansion into North America
and APAC, where we are seeing significant appetite for a simpler,
more convenient tool that delivers the high data quality and
reliability that shippers and freight forwarders demand in this
rapidly changing and competitive market. In addition, we’re taking
the carbon footprint measurement capabilities for users even
further with new Carbon Visibility features, while bringing a
number of new features and enhancements to our Road and Ocean
Visibility solutions.”
All-new parcel tracking solution to boost customer
experience
A newly imagined, simple and convenient parcel tracking solution
helps shippers and freight forwarders boost customer experience
while accelerating invoicing. With more granular visibility into
parcel shipment milestones, recipients have greater oversight of
where their shipments are, when they will arrive, while offering
shippers easier identification of incomplete delivery root causes.
Key features include:
- 360 degree event tracking coverage available after
booking, for all major parcel carriers and all in one platform
- Tracking links and customer portals provide recipients
with detailed parcel journey information, in client’s own
branding
- Aggregated delivery timestamps for users, enabling easy
sharing, faster invoicing and optimized cash flow
- On-time In-full performance insights to help users
assess carrier performance
Advanced, accurate carbon emissions reporting capabilities
enabling targeted reductions
Organizations are increasingly required to measure scope 3
carbon emissions, to comply with rapidly evolving regulations, as a
result of stakeholder or customer pressure, or simply to measure
progress towards reaching carbon neutrality goals. As a result,
carbon emissions reporting continues to rise up the priority list
for supply chain management, and shippers in general. Shippeo’s
latest Spring Release brings new capabilities to the platform’s
GLEC framework-accredited Carbon Visibility solution, making
calculations more accurate across all transport modes, and offering
powerful insights needed to enable targeted emissions
reductions.
- Ocean Carrier Intermodal calculations: Ocean container
transport carbon calculations now take into account pre and/or post
carriage legs when booked end to end with an ocean carrier,
simplifying data collection for a more comprehensive picture of
environmental impact, while identifying the most carbon-intensive,
and potentially most expensive, legs for door-to-door
shipments
- Insetting support: Shippers can now override the default
fuel type for truck loads and ocean containers, and select from
biofuel and electricity fuel types, to account for lower emissions
levels achieved through insetting agreements with road or ocean
carriers
- Data completeness dashboards: After launching the same
feature for Ocean Visibility users last November, Road Visibility
users can now also access a scorecard detailing how complete road
shipment data is, identifying missing data, such as weight, truck
size, fuel type, and more, to help users take steps to improve
calculation accuracy
Further features for Road and Ocean Visibility enhancing user
experience, predictive ETA performance, and data quality
The platform update will also introduce new features and
enhancements to the Road and Ocean Visibility solutions,
including:
- All-new Homepage: An entirely new and fully customizable
homepage is coming for all users (including carriers), making it
possible to drag and drop widgets and configure their own control
center, KPIs and visualize all of their most important action items
in one place. Metrics for shipments in various stages can be viewed
at a glance, for easier identification and management of deliveries
at risk
- Long-distance shipment ETA: Shippeo’s accuracy
SLA-backed predictive ETA has been enhanced for full truckload
shipments where journey times are two or more days, with accuracy
increasing by as much as 70%
- Container Journey identification: Enhanced logic
improves identification of container journey boundaries, offering
greater data quality when operational processes are more complex
and data received from ocean carriers via EDI 315 messages is
incomplete
New Developer Portal for more autonomous API integrations and
monitoring:
A new portal offers developers a suite of tools for faster, more
autonomous API integrations and interface monitoring, for both
Shipper and Carrier IT teams, including:
- Full autonomy to interface: Access clear API
documentation sorted by transport mode and use-case, examples and
screenshots to illustrate steps, explanations of technical language
used, and detailed swaggers enabling developers to interface with
little to no additional support
- Authentication method selection: Users can choose
between JWT or Oauth2 authentication methods
- Integration health monitoring: Self-service analytics,
alerts and monitoring allow customers to autonomously check logs
and dashboards to monitor the health of their API interfaces and
debug errors
