Insights Engine

Ask questions about your supply chain data in plain English and get instant insights from your OpenTrack shipments, milestones, and reports.

Updated today

The OpenTrack Insights Engine allows teams to instantly find answers within their supply chain data using natural language questions.

Instead of searching through dashboards, exporting reports, or building manual spreadsheets, users can ask questions directly and receive answers generated from their live OpenTrack data. The Insights Engine analyzes shipment milestones, container activity, performance metrics, and operational reports to surface relevant insights in seconds.


How the Insights Engine Works

The Insights Engine analyzes information across your OpenTrack environment, including:

  • Container tracking data

  • Shipment milestones

  • Port and terminal activity

  • Carrier performance metrics

  • Rail and drayage movements

  • Exception monitoring signals

  • Reports and analytics from Explore

By combining these data sources, the Insights Engine can identify patterns, highlight operational risks, and surface answers that would normally require manual reporting or data analysis.


Ask Questions About Your Supply Chain

The Insights Engine can answer operational questions that typically require manual reporting or data analysis.

Examples include:

  • Which containers arriving this week are at risk of demurrage?

  • Which shipments have been dwelling at the Port of LA for more than three days?

  • Show me all rolled cargo from the last 30 days.

  • Which containers are arriving late this week?

  • Show me ocean carrier performance for the past 30 days.

  • Which shipments need attention before Friday?

Instead of searching through dashboards or building Excel reports, the system identifies the relevant data and returns the answer directly.


Operational Use Cases

The Insights Engine helps operations teams quickly identify issues and opportunities across their supply chain.

Common use cases include:

Demurrage and detention monitoring

Identify containers approaching Last Free Day deadlines and prioritize pickups.

Terminal dwell analysis

Detect containers sitting at terminals longer than expected and investigate bottlenecks.

Carrier performance monitoring

Analyze carrier performance across shipments to identify reliability trends.

Operational prioritization

Identify shipments requiring attention before operational deadlines.


Benefits for Operations Teams

Using the Insights Engine allows teams to move faster and make better operational decisions.

Benefits include:

  • Quickly identifying operational risks

  • Eliminating manual report building

  • Surfacing insights across multiple datasets

  • Improving response time to shipment disruptions

  • Scaling operations without additional manual analysis

Instead of spending hours building reports, teams can focus on taking action.


What’s Coming Next

The Insights Engine is the first step toward deeper AI-powered intelligence within OpenTrack.

Future capabilities will include:

  • A library of answers
    Pre-built charts and visualizations for common supply chain questions.

  • Smart discovery
    Browse insights by shipment stage, operational task, or responsible party.

  • Saved insights and dashboards
    Bookmark frequently used answers and share them with internal teams or clients.

  • Deeper analytics
    Expanded visualizations and more ways to analyze supply chain performance.

These capabilities will continue expanding how teams interact with their operational data.


Availability

The Insights Engine will initially be released through a limited beta program.

Customers participating in the beta will be able to test the feature using their live OpenTrack data and provide feedback as the product evolves.
