You're in a budget meeting, and shipping costs are climbing—again. The numbers don’t line up, but you can’t pinpoint why. You're toggling between spreadsheets, digging into individual carrier portals, and hoping something adds up. Meanwhile, the pressure to explain, fix, and forecast grows by the minute.

This is the exact challenge Intelligent Audit solves with its Advanced Reporting & Analytics solution. Instead of fragmented reports and reactive decisions, shippers gain real-time visibility into transportation performance—down to the SKU, store, carrier, and region. It’s not about gathering more data. It’s about finally understanding what your data is telling you—and acting on it.

Bring Structure and Clarity to Your Transportation Data

Shipping data is often disjointed, inconsistent, and difficult to trust. Intelligent Audit solves this by consolidating and normalizing transportation data across all carriers, modes, and geographies—delivering a unified view that’s accurate, intuitive, and actionable.

Through customizable dashboards and dynamic visualizations, users can drill down into key performance indicators by carrier, lane, region, or business unit. The solution makes it easy to track delivery trends, cost drivers, and mode utilization—all in one place. That clarity helps teams spot inefficiencies, identify outliers, and make informed decisions that improve both cost and service outcomes.  

Forecast Better. React Faster. Spend Smarter.

One of the most powerful capabilities of Advanced Reporting & Analytics is forecast vs. actual tracking. Shippers can compare planned budgets with actual spend in real time, flagging issues early and avoiding end-of-quarter surprises. This helps logistics and finance teams stay in sync and aligned to broader business objectives.

The solution also supports accrual reporting—offering innovative customizations for allocating unbilled transportation costs. With this capability, users can improve cost forecasting, align monthly closing processes, and maintain full visibility into outstanding carrier billing and payments.  

Gain Granular Insight at the SKU and Store Level

Modern shipping strategies demand more than high-level data. Intelligent Audit enables SKU-level reporting by prorating freight costs based on shipment contents—giving shippers more accurate visibility into cost allocation across products. This is particularly valuable for understanding product-level margins and fine-tuning pricing or fulfillment strategies.

Additionally, Intelligent Audit enhances store-level visibility by standardizing store addresses across carrier data. This ensures accurate reporting on inbound and outbound shipments to and from individual store locations—helping retail and omnichannel shippers assess performance by region and optimize distribution.  

A Centralized Solution Built for Action

Advanced Reporting & Analytics is fully integrated within Intelligent Audit’s portal. That means users don’t need to toggle between disconnected tools or piece together insights. Everything from audit results to spend analysis to performance metrics lives in one place, creating a seamless flow of information across departments.

The result? Clean, trusted data that supports smarter decision-making—without the delays, guesswork, or duplication of effort.
