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
