Summary

The festive season is approaching, bringing with it the busiest time for logistics, freight, and delivery companies, which rely on data analytics to serve customer orders and meet holiday delivery deadlines. The sector's large-scale networks require real-time access to data to manage hundreds of locations, systems, and processes, as inadequate use of data can delay decision-making, increase costs, and disrupt the customer experience. To meet these needs, shipping and logistics organizations need a solution that can handle high volumes of data and provide real-time access to detect delays and notify customers in time, which is where cloud-based platforms like Fivetran come in. Companies such as Pitney Bowes, DPD Polska, and MyParcel have leveraged Fivetran to streamline their data operations, improve efficiency, and enhance customer experience by providing near-real-time data delivery, reducing manual data distribution risks, and enabling accelerated decision-making with real-time analytics. By leveraging Fivetran's capabilities, these organizations can focus on delivering a seamless and reliable customer experience during the holiday season.
