How can you solve this?
The time it takes for commodities to get from point A to point B, expressed in hours or days, is known as transit time. Rail, ocean, road or a mix of several modes could be used as the mode of transportation.
Shipments won't be available for pickup the day the ocean vessel docks. Since many ocean liners carry more than 10,000 containers, even the simple process of unloading the ship can take 1-3 business days.
Generally speaking, it takes three hours to pack a 20-foot container and closer to six hours to pack a 40-foot container.
Transit time includes the lead time, which makes it crucial. Lead time in business refers to the time needed to fulfill a supplier's purchase order. Any firm can only function if its suppliers deliver raw materials, completed goods, or parts on time. In addition, accurate transit time is necessary to fulfill their promises to customers.
Our proprietary algorithm uses machine learning to predict shipping travel times accurately. The input includes real-time estimates from carriers and data crunching on historical data provided by these carriers and third-party shippers.
