Transforming your Shipping Data into Actionable Information
 The ShipView™ Plus analytics module is a powerful shipping/transportation performance management application that provides cross-enterprise views and analysis of critical shipping information. ShipView Plus includes Varsity's TransData datamart which collects and provides access to a broad range of detailed historical shipment and transportation data that is identified, defined, and documented for use.
With intuitive, GUI-based business performance dashboards and dynamic,  flexible analytic query and
reporting capabilities, ShipView Plus delivers the tools necessary for shipping and logistics managers (as well as C-level executives) to strengthen negotiating position with carriers, identify and correct hidden cost and performance problems, and revamp transportation management strategies.
With ShipView Plus, all of this is available at the finger tips of managers without any requirement for IT/programming time or effort.

- TransData, shipment/transportation datamart is reliably updated on the IBM i platform

- Full export capability to a wide range of applications and formats, including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Word, HTML, XML, PDF
- Access to the data is enterprise-wide, available in the aggregate or broken down by DCs, or even employees; by parcel vs. freight; by carrier and service type, shipping lanes, and ship-to locations and customers, etc.
- Security architecture ensures that viewing and downloading of specific information is controlled by management-set parameters. For example, access rules can be set so that the manager of distribution center 1 cannot see the information from distribution center 2.
- Data integrity is built into ShipView Plus through TransData and through functionality that safeguards against errors and inaccuracies. For example, in ShipView Plus, data cannot be inadvertently altered and overwritten.
ShipView Plus will open up unprecedented visibility into your transportation logistics operations, allowing you to attain insight and control and real hard dollar cost savings. This can be accomplished without any investment in IT programming (a recurring cost in excess of the initial one-time licensing cost of ShipView Plus). Based on these IT programming savings and the hard, operational cost-reduction benefits that can be achieved with ShipView Plus, a rapid payback and a very high ROI are practically guaranteed.
