Why choose us

Built for freight, obsessed with operational data

Royal Freight Advisory is dedicated to turning non‑financial operational signals from your freight network into the kind of dashboards and KPI views operations actually use every day.

Freight‑first analytics
Everything we design starts from ports, routes, fleets, SLAs and exceptions, not generic BI templates or financial reporting structures.
Actionable KPI design
KPIs are built around decisions your teams make daily: on‑time performance, capacity, dwell time, lane reliability and service quality.
Operational time‑to‑value
We ship early dashboards that already answer key operational questions, then iterate together instead of running long, abstract projects.
End‑to‑end visibility
We connect TMS, carrier, port and tracking data into one operational view, so every team sees the same network reality.
What makes us different

Frequently asked questions

Freight analytics, simplified

Answers to common questions about operational analytics, KPI dashboards and monitoring for freight and logistics operations.

We specialize in non-financial operational data from freight and logistics operations:

  • Routes, ports, lanes and service levels (SLA)
  • On-time performance and reliability metrics
  • Capacity utilization and asset performance
  • Dwell times, delays and exception events
  • TMS, carrier feeds, port calls and real-time tracking

Unlike generic BI, our focus is operations—what moves (or doesn't) in your network.

Initial dashboards in 2–4 weeks, depending on data complexity:

  • Week 1: Data discovery and connection
  • Week 2: MVP dashboard with key operational KPIs
  • Week 3+: Iteration based on team feedback

We prioritize operational time-to-value over perfect data models.

Built for freight operations, not generic BI:

  • Role-based views (operations vs. management)
  • Real-time alerts for SLA breaches and exceptions
  • Lane/port/carrier drill-downs
  • Network-wide performance benchmarking
  • Mobile-optimized for on-the-go operations

Yes, we integrate with most freight systems:

  • TMS: MercuryGate, 3Gtms, Oracle TMS, SAP TM
  • Port APIs: MED, Maersk, COSCO, port community systems
  • Tracking: FourKites, Project44, Tive
  • Carrier EDI: standard 204/214/990 formats
  • Custom APIs and file exports

Core freight operations KPIs:

  • OTD (On-Time Delivery) by lane/port/carrier
  • Capacity utilization and fill rates
  • Port dwell time and inland transit times
  • Exception rates (delays, damages, failures)
  • SLA compliance and penalty exposure
  • Network reliability (lane/port/carrier scores)

Absolutely—carrier benchmarking is a specialty:

  • OTD, transit time consistency, capacity reliability
  • Exception frequency by carrier/lane/port
  • Service quality scores and trend analysis
  • Capacity availability during peak periods
  • Penalty exposure and SLA breach tracking

Spot underperformers before they impact your network.
