Working with shipment visibility providers , Prewave can marry the data and provide alerts and information that is relevant to your shipments and your business , all on one dashboard . Not only will you know a shipment is delayed , but why .

If there ' s not a single shipment leaving within the next three weeks , for example , you can then entirely disregard it from an operational standpoint .”
