      Overview

      AI-Powered Transit Times predictions is a ShipWise premium feature.  It provides data-driven transit time insights based on aggregated tracking data across all customers and enables shippers to make better precise shipping decisions by understanding the transit duration that packages typically take to be delivered by a carrier, carrier service levels, and destination postal codes.

      Key Benefits

      • Accurate Delivery Estimates: Calculates actual delivery performance based on billions of tracking records.
      • Carrier-Specific Insights: Measures on-time performance for major carriers and services.
      • Visual Analytics: Offers intuitive graphs to view transit time trends and performance.

      Use Cases

      • Optimizing carrier and service selections.
      • Enhancing customer delivery promises.
      • Identifying underperforming delivery lanes.

      Supported Carriers

      AI powered predictions are compatible with many carriers that provide tracking updates via an API including:

      SmartPost

      Mail Innovations

      Surepost

      and other API trackable carriers



      AI powered predictions are not supported for non-trackable shipments (e.g., USPS flats with no tracking).

      Please note: Amazon Shipping and Amazon Buy Shipping do not support AI powered predictions.

      How AI Predictions Work

      1. ShipWise collects a history of all carrier tracking data from all participating accounts. This process is called Data Aggregation.
      2. This data is analyzed by a AI machine learning process which is constantly running behind the scenes to deliver accurate transit durations.
      3. Detailed insight reports based on origin and destination postal codes, carriers, and carrier services are then generated for the AI system to utilize for predicting the best transit times for carrier services.
