ETA Whitepaper Series part 1: The Key Benefits of ETA in Transport Logistics 

The main goal of real-time visibility is to provide predictive ETAs for shipments — when will a load be picked up, when will it be delivered and will it be on time or delayed.

But what exactly are the practical benefits of having ETAs for shipments? This is the first whitepaper in a series exploring the nature and value of ETA in transport logistics from various angles. Pt 1 focuses on the business benefits for shippers. 

ETA Whitepaper Series part 2: Pushing the Envelope on ETA Calculation

How are the ETAs, which the whole industry is starting to rely on, calculated? You can make business decisions based on ETAs only if you are confident in their reliability. 

This whitepaper gives a behind-the-scenes overview of the infrastructure and components necessary to create high-quality, reliable ETA predictions.
