Shipment Schedule Tracker App

Shipment Schedule Tracking – Power BI App Overview

In logistics, delivery timing is everything. The Shipment Schedule Tracking Dashboard helps procurement and operations teams evaluate how well vendors meet scheduled shipment timelines. By comparing planned vs. actual delivery dates—and categorizing early, late, and on-time arrivals—it reveals which vendors are dependable and which ones introduce bottlenecks.

This Power BI app captures delay reasons, delivery patterns, and vendor-specific behavior to enable proactive planning and accountability.
