We have conducted hundreds of surveys with a broad cross-section of logistics managers, and the results show that the key reports they rely on include:

1. Weekly/daily inbound report

Your warehouse team will thank you for this report. Armed with reliable inventory data, they can easily plan ahead to carve out time and allocate space to receive containers throughout the week. If your company kits or pulls multiple products together to fill a customer order, your team has the data they need to plan and prioritize the orders to fill.

2. Weekly containers/purchase orders arrival report 

With this report, multiple departments in your organization benefit. Purchasing gets timely information to effectively plan and order with vendors, the finance team receives key data to optimize planned payables and cash flow, and the sales team can - and will - leverage this report in conversations and start selling products earlier.

3. Weekly containers/purchase orders departure report

Similar to arrival reports, this report gives multiple teams timely information that lets them effectively plan and execute on key activities. The marketing team finds this report gives them accurate timeline information to plan their ads, promotions, and launches.

4. Customs Entry Exception Report

This report lets your team stay on top of critical compliance issues, and ensure prompt action to clear Customs. As an added benefit, tracking and logging inventory and customs exceptions data will generate insights that help your company plan purchases, standardize descriptions, and ensure a smoother entry clearance
