Convoy's Hi-Fi Visibility provides shippers depth and insights into their freight with detailed, real-time updates across trailer pools and shipments hauled by Convoy-connected carriers, in addition to analytics to improve supply chain health. These capabilities are enabled by Convoy’s app use and 400,000 connected trucks, allowing Convoy to collect data sets and pair them with advanced machine learning models. In addition to delivering visibility tools, Convoy leverages these capabilities to predict supply chain disruptions across its network and proactively mitigate shipment delays. Accessible through TMS integrations, APIs and Convoy’s shipper platform, new capabilities include high-fidelity shipment tracking, an interactive insights dashboard, as well as detailed trailer monitoring services that automate the delivery of location, condition and availability data for Convoy drop-and-hook trailer pools on-site at customer facilities.

“Creating a new class of visibility requires surfacing a seemingly simple source of truth from a complex data set that changes by the minute, which is no easy feat,” says Dorothy Li, CTO of Convoy. “We not only collect more data than other freight providers, but we go one step further by distilling that data into a format that shippers can act on to save time and money. With Hi-Fi Visibility, we want transportation teams to spend less of their time chasing down trucks so that we can partner with them to tackle higher-value, complex problems surfaced through Convoy’s unique insights.”
