Use Predictive Analytics to Anticipate Shipping Delays

Predictive analytics tools can forecast delivery delays due to weather, traffic, or peak volume trends. Acting on these forecasts early helps logistics teams adjust plans, reroute shipments, and avoid last-minute premium freight charges. Integrating predictive tools into your TMS ensures you’re not reacting under pressure—but planning proactively. Anticipating disruption allows better inventory positioning, smarter carrier selection, and reduced cost exposure due to emergencies.
