Spot service problems before your customers do.

Supersimple reads shipment data alongside your runbooks and ops channels, so it knows what counts as late and why a lane slipped.

Four lanes fell below 90% on time. Three of them start in Memphis, which has run on a backup sorter since September 8. Outbound volume from Memphis stayed flat, so a demand spike doesn’t explain the delays, which points to the backup sorter. Los Angeles to Dallas is the fourth, just under at 89.3%.

Runbooks and ops channels say what counts.

Your ops team already wrote down what counts as late and what broke at each hub. Supersimple builds the analysis from it and cites it.
