The Shipping Performance section provides a comprehensive analysis of customer satisfaction with your shipments. You'll find detailed statistics, graphs, and customer review summaries to help you optimize delivery service quality and enhance the overall customer experience.

Filters and Time Periods

At the top of the overview, you'll find the same filtering options as in other analytical sections. You can filter data by time period, shipping company, delivery country, or order source. Specifically for shipping ratings, you can also filter by specific ratings (1-5 stars), allowing you to analyze, for example, only negative or positive feedback.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

At the top of the overview, you'll find four key metrics that provide a quick overview of customer satisfaction:

1. Average Rating

The overall average rating of all shipments in stars (1-5). This key indicator immediately shows how customers perceive the quality of your delivery services.

2. Total Number of Ratings

The absolute number of all ratings from customers. This metric is important for evaluating the representativeness of the data – the more ratings you have, the more reliable your analyses are.

3. Satisfied Customers

The percentage of customers who rated the delivery 4 or 5 stars. This indicator is crucial for measuring overall satisfaction and tracking trends in service quality.

4. Best Carrier

The carrier with the highest average rating. This indicator helps you identify the best-performing carriers in your portfolio and can serve as a benchmark for others.

Rating Trends Over Time

The "Average Rating Over Time" graph displays the evolution of customer satisfaction over the selected period. This interactive tool allows you to:

  • Track trends in delivery service quality

  • Identify periods with decreased or improved customer satisfaction

  • Analyze the effectiveness of implemented measures to improve quality

  • Recognize seasonal fluctuations in ratings

Clicking on a specific point on the graph provides an overview of all ratings from that interval.

Rating Distribution

The "Rating Distribution" graph displays the distribution of all ratings according to the number of stars. This overview helps you understand:

  • What proportion of customers are highly satisfied (5 stars)

  • How many customers have a negative experience (1-2 stars)

  • Whether positive or negative feedback predominates

  • The overall structure of customer feedback

Ratings by Carrier

The "Average Rating by Carrier" graph provides a comparison of the performance of individual shipping companies from the perspective of customer satisfaction. This overview is crucial for:

  • Identifying the best-performing carriers

  • Identifying problematic carriers with low satisfaction

  • Strategic decision-making about allocating shipments among carriers

  • Negotiating with carriers based on satisfaction data

Clicking on a specific carrier provides a list of all their rated shipments.

Ratings by Country

The "Ratings by Country" graph displays the average customer satisfaction in individual destinations. This view helps you:

  • Identify problematic countries with low satisfaction

  • Optimize carrier selection for specific destinations

  • Focus on improving quality in specific markets

  • Compare service levels across different countries

Areas for Improvement

The "Areas for Improvement" radar chart provides an overview of the most frequent problems customers encounter. It displays various problem categories such as:

  • Delivery speed

  • Damaged goods

  • Packaging quality

  • Delivery service

  • Incorrect item

  • Tracking updates

  • Pickup location

This graph helps you prioritize areas where you should invest in improving service quality.

Table of Recent Comments

At the bottom of the overview, you'll find a table with the latest customer comments. Each row contains:

  • Carrier logo – visual identification of the shipping company

  • Shipment number – for easy identification of a specific shipment

  • Rating – number of stars with a visual representation

  • Comment – textual feedback from the customer

  • Issues – marked problem categories

  • Date – when the rating was submitted

The table is paginated and allows you to browse all comments. Clicking on the shipment number takes you to the detail of that specific shipment.
