In late 2020, we announced our collaboration with Sea-Intelligence to integrate supply-side data directly into the Xeneta platform. We are continuously improving and enriching the data integration and are pleased to now make available, in-platform, ocean freight capacity and blank sailings, in addition to the schedule reliability data.
The Sea-Intelligence schedule reliability, capacity and blank sailings data is available under the Xeneta Market Insights add-on umbrella. Xeneta Market Insights aims to connect must-have industry and market external data insights into our platform. It provides ocean supply data side-by-side Xeneta’s robust ratesgiving industry professionals must-have market insights all in one platform.
Xeneta Market Insights creates a connection between ocean freight rate benchmarks and a company’s/team’s/individual’s KPIs and strategic goals. It helps to provide a clear understanding as to why ocean freight rates behave as they do and support assumptions for future planning.
Capacity & Blank Sailings
What? Monitor and measure the available capacity on a per-trade view.
Why? KPI setting and negotiation, Strategy (supplier selection & planning).
Some questions the capacity data can help you answer:
- We are having heavy seasonality in our volumes that seem to be contrary to carriers' capacity patterns. How can we structure our MQC around this?
- Our supplier is showing a much higher fluctuation/ 20% capacity reduction compared to the average market. How do I make sure the supplier is able to keep our volume agreement operable? What will save us from getting rolled?
- Do I need to change my overall capacity strategy given the ongoing trends?
Schedule Reliability
What? Monitor and measure the on-time performance on a per-trade or per-carrier view.
Why? KPI setting and negotiation.
Some questions the schedule reliability data can help you answer:
- Our supplier is saying they have the fastest transit time on this route, yet they are late on 3 out of 5 arrivals, which is 10% lower than market average. So, what is the benefit of booking with them when I need a speedy service?
- Our supplier has lost 30% of its on-time reliability over the past 6 months. What measures are they taking to increase their reliability again and how should we deal with the current situation?
- Our supplier is frequently underperforming its peer reliability, however, they are asking for the same (or a higher) price. What else can we expect to gain from booking with them?
