# How Can I Track Which Deliveries Are Running Late in Real Time?

You track late deliveries by comparing expected delivery time against actual progress continuously, flagging anything falling behind automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through dashboard indicators comparing expected and actual delivery timing.

Discovering a delivery is running late only when a customer calls to complain means the team is always reacting after the delay has already become a problem.

## What discovering delays late costs

- The team learning about a delay only once a customer has already noticed
- No window to proactively communicate before the customer calls
- Difficulty prioritizing which late deliveries need the most urgent attention
- Customer trust damaged by having to be the one to flag the problem

## How real-time late delivery tracking works

- Expected timing compares continuously against actual delivery **progress**
- A dashboard flags any delivery falling behind that comparison automatically
- The team sees late deliveries as they happen, not after a complaint
- Prioritization becomes direct, based on how far behind a delivery actually is

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Real-time comparison catches delays before a customer has to flag them
- Proactive visibility protects customer trust and satisfaction
- Prioritized flagging focuses attention where delays are most severe
- This scales from a handful of daily deliveries to a high-volume operation
