Advanced Freight Data & Analytics

The freight industry runs on data, but for many brokers and 3PLs, that data is scattered across disconnected systems and manual reports. The result is delayed decision-making, hidden inefficiencies, and limited visibility into true performance.

At Transfix, we help you harness the full power of your freight data. Our analytics solutions give brokers and 3PLs real-time insights into pricing, routing, and scheduling so that every decision is smarter, faster, and more precise. Explore how our freight solutions work together to streamline operations across the entire shipment lifecycle.

What Is Freight Data and Analytics

Freight data and analytics is the practice of transforming shipment, carrier, and market information into actionable insights that drive operational efficiency and profitability. From evaluating carrier performance to anticipating shifts in market conditions, each data point becomes a tool for better strategy.

The Transfix analytics platform brings these insights together in one connected solution. Instead of relying on static reports or guesswork, you gain predictive forecasts, performance visibility, and flexible reporting tailored to your operation.

Analytics also integrates seamlessly with AI-powered lifecycle optimization tools that automate quoting, bidding, and coverage, ensuring data flows across every stage of your freight operations.

Why Advanced Analytics Matters in Freight

  • Efficiency at Scale: By streamlining reporting and surfacing key insights, analytics eliminates wasted effort and accelerates decision-making. Teams can respond to market changes quickly while reducing manual processes.

  • Data-Backed Advantage for Brokers: By leveraging visibility into buying performance, lane-level outcomes, and cost structures, brokers can back their pricing logic and build stronger, trust-based relationships with shippers.

  • Predictive Power and Resilience: AI-driven forecasting helps anticipate demand surges, pricing volatility, and disruptions so you can act proactively instead of reactively.

  • Comprehensive Insights: Transfix combines internal data with external sources like market supply and demand metrics to provide a complete view of the factors influencing freight performance.
